Publish date: 2024-05-08

Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was born on July 27, 1992, in Toronto, Canada.

He was raised by his mother and father along with his two older brothers. Tory’s parents are both of Caribbean descent. His mother is from Barbados and his father is from Curaçao.

Tory’s father Sonstar Peterson was a missionary and travelled frequently for work. He would often take Tory and his brothers with him on his trips to different countries.

This exposed Tory to different cultures and helped shape his worldview.

Tory’s mother Luella Peterson worked as a hairstylist to support the family while his father was away. She instilled a strong work ethic in her sons and encouraged them to pursue their passions.

Despite their busy schedules, Tory’s parents were very involved in their children’s lives. They supported their interests in music and sports and encouraged them to stay focused on their goals.

In an interview with The Fader, Tory spoke about the influence of his parents on his music career.

He said, “My mom always told me that I could do anything I put my mind to. My dad always told me that if I wanted something bad enough, I had to work hard for it.”

Tory Lanez has credited his parents for shaping him into the person he is today. He has also dedicated several songs to them, including “Mama Told Me” and “Dad’s Lessons.”
