TAE-D OF Xquizite...
TAE-D born on December 6th, 1986, as Billy Weems Jr. grew up in the small town of Grand Prairie, TX. From the beginning, it was obvious that he was a natural performer.
TAE-D grew up loving the soulful music of the 70s and 80s but soon grew a love for hip hop. His was influenced by artist such as Michael Jackson, Usher, Nsync, Jagged Edge, and Boys II Men. As a child, he was heavily involved in the church choir. Although he played sports his interest always returned to music. While in high school, TAE-D became involved in the step team and soon became the captain which gave him the opportunity to perform in front of hundreds of people giving him a taste of the spotlight. After being on stage and feeling the reaction of the crowd, he knew then that he wanted to be an entertainer for the rest of his life. One of his fellow step team members had a home studio where he first got the feel of being in a recording studio.
Unfortunately, his friend needed to focus more on his career which stifled TAE-D’s creativity.
With no equipment, no money for studio time and no way to make his music TAE-D realized that starting out on his own was not easy. TAE-D and his longtime girlfriend were blessed with their first child, Tasia Deshae Weems. Now being a parent he realized that he would have to do whatever he needed to do to fulfill his dreams. TAE-D began to research everything that he could to find to find out what he would need to do to make his music. He downloaded free recording and production software and began learning to produce and make beats for his self. Making his first beat on Fruity Loops he began to develop his own sound. Over time he began testing out recording strategies. His sister saw his passion for music and she gave him a book on sound engineering which helped him to master and engineer his own music. He was now on his path to a new beginning but he was missing just one thing, a stage name. He looked back and thought of everything he had gone through and all the changes in his life that had recently occurred in his life. When his daughter was born it had started his new beginning so the name just made sense, TAE-D standing for Tasia Deshae. TAE-D is a young, creative artist with a pop and R&B flare. His hip and energetic attitude is a firecracker waiting to be lit. He is a crooner at heart but can get krunk with the best of them.
