MB: What form do you see your music shaping into in the future? Will a catchy hook always be a part of your work? And then, I got to promote the very next day. I spent maybe two months on the platform before I asked myself why I was not using this for my music.
TV: I joined TikTok because of my brother and because of Gary V. Sometimes you need to hear that you’re not good enough over and over. There’s a reason why some people make it, and some don’t. I’m making progress because I’m not afraid to throw shit at a wall until something sticks. People might make fun of you for trying something new…until it works. And yes – for me, it was seven times in total-all different shows and opportunities like American Idol and The Voice. TV: I think rejection makes an artist better. How did you keep going after all this rejection? Was it seven times? I read you auditioned for singing competition shows like American Idol and The Voice. MB: If at first, you don’t succeed, “change your name, maybe get a fucking haircut, try it again.” I love this quote. I didn’t know everyone else would relate to my situation this hard. But I think everyone has that small distrust in a new love interest when they first meet them, no matter how great they are. TV: I’ve had that conversation – almost verbatim – with girls I’ve been romantic with. MB: “She said, You’re a player, aren’t you, and I bet you got hoes.” What’s the story behind this lyric? I was influenced by all of these different genres, but also the most pop-forward versions of those different genres. My top three influences (and dream collabs) are Dominic Fike, Harry Styles, and Brent Faiyaz. My mom had the NOW CDs, and I would listen to the GRAMMY-nominated song compilation albums when those were a thing. MB: What was it like growing up for you? Who were some of your musical idols? Any dream collaborations? “ change your name, maybe get a fucking haircut, try it again.” Falling in love with the process of making music was the deciding factor. Tai Verdes: When I got to L.A., I realized I wanted to do music very slowly. I wasn’t any good at it at first, but I loved the process. The longer I stayed, the more I wanted to dig into the different layers of improving my music. Mark Benjamin: When did you know you wanted to go into music? We caught up with Tai on his roots, sensational overnight rise, and exciting upcoming album. As Verdes gears up for the release of his debut album coming later this year, “we would have some cute kids” will definitely keep his fan base growing and occupied.It wasn’t until Verdes took matters into his own hands by putting in the time to perfect his song for the platform did his musical career take off. The video is a great addition and helps bring the song to life. His new track is fresh, relatable, and shows off Verdes’s charismatic voice and personality. Visually, Fields captures the vibe perfectly, with a soft tint that gives of a utopic summer feeling. His kids splash and play, jump on the trampoline, and the family even goes on a road trip together. Next, it’s Verdes living out his lyrics, with his picture-perfect, American dream family.
It begins with Tai falling for a girl at first sight. The music video for the track, directed by Logan Fields, goes hand and hand with the track. As the production crescendos, with claps and more instrumentation, the track only gets better. The production is initially carried by a sweet strumming guitar, which sets the feel-good vibe perfectly. As he dreams of his life with this catch, he lets his mind wander, exploring how successful, fun, and cute their kids would be. Lyrically, Verdes explains his love at first sight moment. “We would have some cute kids” is filled with catchy lyrics, relatable lines, and upbeat production. The accompanying music video captures this vibe perfectly. The track is a feel-good tune, perfect for a summer day car ride. “We would have some cute kids” is no exception. This great run has allowed Verdes to garner a genuine fanbase – a fanbase Verdes is feeding with great music. After his breakthrough hit “Stuck In The Middle”, Verdes has not taken his foot off the gas. Rising Los Angeles-based artist Tai Verdes has been on a hot streak.
