Tai Verdes Details

Today, refreshing alt-R&B singer/songwriter Tai Verdes dives into his first three singles “Stuck in the Middle,” “DRUGS,” and “BAD BAD News” as a part of Atwood Magazine‘s Black History Month series. Hailing from Los Angeles and now signed to major label Arista Records, 24-year-old Tai Verdes has made a big splash in the music scene over the past eleven months; his debut breakout single “Stuck in the Middle” hit #1 on Spotify’s US viral chart, and has garnered over 60 million global streams, more than 2.3 million TikTok video creations, and over 1 billion TikTok views.

Blending R&B, pop, blues, rock, and more influences into a pool of compelling and genreless music, Verdes gives his all to make his art authentic and sincere to him. “I just do what feels good,” he explains. “I don’t care what producer I’m working with or their style. As long as I feel good about the whole thing, I’m all in.” The upbeat “Stuck in the Middle” introduced the artist as a heart-on-sleeve storytelling singer/songwriter ready to share himself with the world.
