TAZ, 23 years old, is the next singer/guitarist superstar. The unapologetic New York-born artist crafts stadium-ready, anthemic blends of pop, rock, R&B, and alternative. His story began at age 8, when a screening of Jack Black's School of Rock left him begging his parents for a guitar before the credits finished rolling.
Fatefully, the start of his musical obsession led to him originating the role of Zack in the original, multi-Tony Award-nominated Broadway production of the same name, as well as an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show — both helping launch his career. His first true passion was live performance, which he's showcased both in his own concerts and through collaborations with artists such as Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Lil Wayne, Slash, Jon Batiste, The Revivalists, Gary Clark Jr., and Tedeschi Trucks Band, at festivals and venues such as Coachella, MetLife Stadium, and Madison Square Garden.
At 18, TAZ decided to take a break from the spotlight, attending Yale University and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. Now, he's returned with his first commercial release — LOVE THRU RAGE. The EP serves as both his mission statement as an artist and in life.
