About Me
Bio:
Yes peeps, you’re on the official TC myspace. Big up the people that are taking time out to read this and getting to know me a little better.
I was born March 14 1983 in south London. “TC†yes that’s me what can I say my father named me after a Greek god Taylos for those of you that know me you will know my name is Tylon Clayton, yeah I know Tylon, Taylos it doesn’t even rhyme………. Anyway my mum never clicked to the name straight away so she broke it down to TC and ever since it’s stayed with me.
Music has been a part of me as far back as I can remember, my dad was in a sound and he used to take me to studio with him, I have even got a dusty tape of me when I was about 4 singing over some Jah Shaka music “mad funnyâ€, but seriously from a child I've been dragged to family functions time after time, listening to Beres Hammond, Frankie Paul, Marcia griffins Gregory Isaac just to name a few!!!! To top that off every Friday was a jamming session at my house til all hours of the night, you can just imagine the b- line when I was trying to sleep, so yeah naturally I've had a ear for music, but to be totally honest the first time I actually got a inspired or wanted to start pursuing the music career myself was after listening to Skibadee. I was about 11 or 12 I used to lock into Kool fm hard listening to Skibadee, Shabba, Det, they used to buss it up!!! There was me first year of secondary school dropping some big boy lyrics in the playground like they were mine, PEOPLE WAS RATING ME HARD HAAAAA
The first time I recorded something myself was when I was around 13, I used to go to my bredrins Scarface yard, we used to record on his mum little stereo through the speaker we was like “yes people your locked into manner FM “DAMN†the memories. I also remember lunchtimes and after schools I would do drum and base sets at my friend’s houses, Mark Cooper, Danny Dah funk de, and DJ Genius note that all these boys were white cos they were the only ones that could afford decks those days. We used to make tapes copy them and give them out in school.
In 1998 a lot of the people I used to mc with went off drum and base and starting doing garage but I was like what the f*** I was trying to buss jungle lyrics over garage beats it was just to slow sounded nuts. Then I heard a couple of sun city tape packs I heard man like Det, Creed, Viper just to name a few, bussing it up so I was like ok, so there I go again developing a style around someonelese. I think it was year after that about 1999 my cousin had a link with the owner of Supreme fm 96.1 fm, so me and Dj Scarface and Mc Racer had a set every Tuesday 10-12 it was heavy a real radio station real people actually calling up and wanted t get a big up and saying we were smashing it up it was a real buzz man, we did that for a about a year. After leaving Supreme fm I started up my own promotion company which involved running under 21 events, I was 17 the first rave I ran it was called “temperature†this was a south London ting. 2001 me and my Dj had a set on taste fm every Tuesday I was going college these times and managed to create a good awareness I was still running promotions and about a year later I got a link with Nasty crew Sharky major and I invested into a mix cd which was called “Streets Talk†this was a live mc session with mc’s from South and East London, at that time I recorded a track which was called “MIRROR MIRROR†and it was the only rap track on the cd…………..After releasing Streets Salk vol 1, Mirror Mirror managed to create an interest throughout London this times channel u was just bussing, so I decided to shoot a video and landed a regular spot on the play list and within weeks it BLEW…….
What can I say it’s been two years …………… and im back!!!
