Tai Verdes

Tai Verdes creates his own inimitable sound by combining high-spirited hip-hop, vibrant R&B, blissful soul, and much more. Growing up predominantly in Chicago, he instinctually gravitated towards music as a kid and found favorites in local icons such as Chance The Rapper and Kanye West, as well as Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, and 50 Cent. After first recording, producing, he broke through on an international scale with the gold-certified “Stuck In The Middle,” which became one of The New York Times’ “Best Songs of 2020.” It paved the way for his 2021 full-length debut, TV, which yielded the gold-certified “Drugs” and sensational smash “AOK.” The latter notably picked-up 2x Platinum Certification in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a Platinum Certification in Australia. Later in the year, he performed to a crowd of over 35,000 at his first live show on the Lollapalooza Mainstage and sold out his first headline tour in just minutes. In 2024, Tai enters a new musical era and holds nothing back on his third full-length LP, 4K. “4K is an X-Ray of who I am right now,” he reveals. “Artistry is my tool for understanding myself, and each album is a period piece. I’m trying to stick close to real emotions and authenticity because that’s what my whole project is based on.”
