Early Life & Education
Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson popularly known as Tory Lanez was born on July 27th, 1992, to the family of Mr Sonstar Peterson, his father and Mrs Luella Peterson, his mother, in Toronto, Canada. Tory Lanez did his secondary school education at Fletcher’s Meadow Secondary School but was later rumored to had dropout of school, so he does not have any qualifications.

After loosing his mother to death, his father started working as an ordained minister and missionary, causing them both to move frequently throughout the United States. Tory Lanez’s father later remarried and the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where Tory Lanez met his friend Hakeem, who at the time was a janitor. Daystar’s nickname “Tory Lanez” was given to him by Hakeem, as a comment on Daystar’s thrill seeking tendencies, that sometimes saw him mucking around in the street, not looking for traffic and playing in the lanes.
In 2006, he was sent to live with his cousin Dahir Abib, Orane Forrest, in Jamaica, Queens, New York because of his behavior issues. Daystar then was forced to move to Toronto with his grandmother. Since she refused to take care of him, he was on his own at the age of 15. “I ended up moving downtown with these three dudes that I didn’t really know. I came into the house, and I didn’t realize how things worked. From like fifteen to eighteen, I was just fighting them. It was every man for himself. That’s what made me a man, having to fend for myself and being in a situation where there is no dad, no grandma and no mom to help you. It changed the person that I am today”, he says. He then once again started rapping, before giving himself a nickname, Notorious (which is a reference to the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., whom he idolized), and adopted into his new moniker “Tory Lanez”. At the age of 16, Daystar dropped out of the tenth grade, and he would begin performing songs at the outdoor concerts. At the age of 17, Daystar began singing, which he found an interest in.
