While he favored the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner<\/strong>, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice. This led him to favor the keys. Eventually, Junior<\/strong> would end up helping to run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhile he faced the same challenges that many of us have, he would become a sought after sound engineer, musician, and Grammy winner for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2007 for his father\u2019s Risin\u2019 With The Blues<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n She thanked people for the \u201coutpouring of condolences\u201d and added that the family requested privacy at this time.<\/p>\n Ike Jr.<\/strong> was one of four kids shared by Tina<\/strong> and Ike<\/strong>: Tina<\/strong> adopted Ike Jr.<\/strong> and Michael<\/strong> from his previous relationship with Lorraine Taylor<\/strong>. They had son Ronnie Turner<\/strong> together. Tina<\/strong> had welcomed son Raymond Craig<\/strong> with Raymond Hill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tina<\/strong> died in 2023<\/a>, while Ike<\/strong> died in 2007 after a cocaine overdose.
