Tone Lōc was born in Los Angeles, California, and is the son of Margaret (who managed a retirement home) and James Smith. His father died in 1972, and Lōc and his three older brothers were raised by his mother. He was educated at the Hollywood Professional School. As a teenager, he performed with the rap group Triple A.
His debut album Lōc-ed After Dark was released in January 1989. The video for the first single, "Wild Thing", became a staple on MTV in the US. The song rose to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the top 20 in Australia. The second single, "Funky Cold Medina", also became a hit. It reached the top five in the US, peaking at #3 (the top ten in Australia and the top twenty in the UK).
