Tai Verdes

Tyler Colon (born December 6, 1995), known professionally as Tai Verdes, is an American singer-songwriter. He grew up in California and played guitar, piano, and ukulele. Playing on the basketball team during his attendance at Babson College, he maintained his love for music and eventually dropped out. He worked at a phone store during the coronavirus outbreak, but this still helped further his musical passion and during the same time, released his breakout single "Stuck in the Middle" in August 2020. The song went viral on TikTok.[1] He responded to his newfound success by saying the song "doesn't just turn into a million dollars and a nice car. It turns into waiting - which I think I've gotten pretty good at."[2]

Career

Tai released his first single "Stuck In the Middle" in mid-2020, which overtime racked millions of streams on multiple streaming services. During this time, he was sleeping on a friend's couch and working at a Verizon phone service store. Before this, he auditioned for shows like The Voice and American Idol, but to no avail. However, he did end up winning an MTV dating series.

With $50,000 waiting to be spent, he moved to Los Angeles, working at any job he could. Whilst doing this, he worked on music.

The song became viral on TikTok. This success carried to other singles such as "Sheesh!" and "Drugs".[3][4]
