Tramar Lacel Dillard was born in Carol City, Florida on September 17, 1979. His parents raised him together with his seven sisters, the youngest of whom is his twin. Some of his sisters would sing in a local gospel group. His brother-in-law was a hype man for local rap group 2 Live Crew, and while in ninth grade, Flo Rida joined an amateur rap group called the GroundHoggz. The GroundHoggz had been a three-man group, with members who lived in the same apartment complex as Flo Rida. They started recording at underground studios in Carver Ranches. The GroundHoggz, in this four-man incarnation, remained together for eight years. Early on in his career one of his sisters, Julia died due to bronchitis. Her death greatly affected Dillard and his career, with him telling MTV "I was very close to her, and I told myself that I was going to do this for my sister."
