=== Early Life ===
Tino was born Tino Addo Prince Jibril and grew up in the neighborhood of Odorkor, Ghana. Young Tino had his primary education at the Kaneshi Cluster Of School and then went to Glorious Child School Complex at Pokuase. He then went on to Odorkor '5' JHS and then proceeded to Presbyterian Senior Secondary School, Mampong-Akuapem for his secondary education. He was the entertainment prefect while he was at Presbyterian Secondary School, Mampong-Akuapem and he organised shows for the students, as well as performed for them.
In his early years, Tino took up his first stage name Sketches. He performed at various entertainment shows with that name. While he was in Odorkor '5' JHS, he joined forces with two of his friends, Emmanuel and Jones, who called themselves "Forina and Harry-Jay" as a duo, and formed a whole new a group called "J.F.S". This group was managed by Tino's father, Mr. Charles Tetteh Addo. They performed at by then very popular teenage music shows such as Kiddafest and Fun-World. However, Agony did not like the idea of Tino's father managing them thus, they left the group. Tino then went solo to perform at ‘Ecstasy Promotions’ where he chalked the 1st position. When he got to Presbyterian Senior Secondary School, his dad booked sessions for him with Mix Master Gaze which landed him into being part of the Gaze family as a 'foot soldier[3]'.
