"I respect music for the love of the art..aside from the money and fame." ... TAI LYVE
TAI LYVE has an amazing ability to "make beats flow". His versatile delivery and high energy
antics cross musical boundaries blending country boy slang with street edge and commercial appeal. At 6'1" with an athletic
build, his heart-throbbing good looks and down-to-earth charm combine with an equal passion for banging beats and ripping
mics. These things give LYVE a connection with the ladies of all ages and respect from music heads demanding artistic
credibility. His song catalogue crosses the myriad from underground to urban mainstream to "rave kids with the shrooms
and light sticks".
"I like to go left field, expressing orginal music and content."... TAI LYVE
LYVE's musical passion inevitably derives from genes passed on by his father, former lead vocalist
and saxophonist of the early 70's R&B show band, The Presidents. His musical influences extend from soulful greats
such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Al Green and old-school Michael Jackson to the classical operatic sounds of Andrea Boccelli.
With his extensive collection of vinyl, TAI has diversified his approach to music production paying homage to the legendary
producer Quincy Jones and contemporary hit-makers like Dr. Dre and Timbaland.
