Damoni Gladden, professionally known as Takani Sadon (born November 7, 2003), is an American rapper, producer, singer, and songwriter from Lancaster, CA. His music delivers raw, emotional intensity — a dark, melodic, and aggressive blend of pain and ambition, struggle and swagger. For Takani, music was never about chasing fame; it was about survival and finding a voice when the world tried to silence him.
Influenced by trap and underground legends, Takani pulls from the hustle and street talk of Jeezy and Chief Keef, the melodic innovation of Future, the raw energy and distorted bass of XXXTENTACION, the rage of Lil Uzi Vert, and the slick, unorthodox lingo of Drakeo the Ruler. These inspirations shaped his sound into something authentic and unapologetic — built from pain, resilience, and ambition.
