Band Members:
WHO IS TJADA???I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. So Proud of it. This is where I found my talent for art. I love music. I live for it. I breathe it. At only 16, I can officially see my future doing something with music (most likely rapping and producing Urban/Pop music).
Many people hear my music and they think that I must have somebody watching over my music, like a parent or a manager, or maybe even a writer. I WRITE, PRODUCE, RECORD, ARRANGE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH MY MUSIC....MYSELF. I learned myself. With a few things given, at age 10 I started to make my dream come true.
I also seem to see that people love to say or ask, "You want to be a rapper when you grow up?". Nonsense. I Am a rapper. I do music. People from all over the world listen to my music. Thats all I need. This is my dream. I’m living everything I could possibly need. Now I’m going for what I want.
Those same people turn around and ask why I’m not signed, or why aren’t I so serious about my music as I should be. This is a everyday thing to me. I wrote "Micros" in 30 min. I made the "Hannah Montana" beat in 10 min. It’s nothing to me. I get better by the minute (not to be so arrogant). I just don’t feel that it’s time to put a price on me yet. That’s why ALL of my songs are free of download, I charge sooo little for my shows, and I do free collabos. Its about the fun. I believe that’s what music is missing these days. The fun.
Make music because it a passion, not just because you like it. Make a song because you HAVE to. Not because you WANT to. If this happen, this would single out a lot of the WACK artists out there.
So, who is TJada? He is a 16 year old prodigy. I am diversity. I am versatility. I am music. Back to it’s first form. I alter emotions. Through words, sounds, and dreams. This is me. If you dont like it, get used to it. You’re gonna see my face VERY often.

Influences:
Who influences me???
First of all spiritually, my big brother Jesus Christ is the biggest influence in my life. The whole state of art is an influence to me. From paintings, or pictures, to new inventions, to good food.
Musically there are two people that stand out in most of the music we hear today. Without these people, music today would be very different. Quincy Jones & Michael Jackson - the music iductry's "Thriller".
In hip hop music I most fully respect Kanye West & Will.I.Am. I love these guys' music. I can literally recite EVERY Kanye verse by heart, and I cant count how many times I have listened to "Songs About Girls" back to back.
Second, Lyrically I must give respect to Nas. I can't explain how much his music means to not only me, but the whole Hip Hop industry. Many don't notice, but I do.
UGK - that's really all i have to say! Scarface and the Getto Boyz. Timbaland - since Timbo and Magoo was poppin, he was my fav. urban producer. STILL IS! Dr. Dre is the producing KING. Nobody can touch him. Nobody ever will. Ever.
My long list of music trend setters and steppers are Common, Devin The Dude, Eminem, Jay-Z, T.I., Lil Jon, Pharell & The Neptunes, 50 Cent, Rhyme Fest (sooo under-rated), Ludacris, The Game, Lil Wayne, Missy, Beyonce, Neyo (this dude is a genius)...
There are soooo many more I really want to say, but who in the world is reading all of this anyway?...lol...
Well, besides that, I really influence myself to be successful. However, everybody that listens to my music and that gives feedback (negative or positive) not only inspires me to move forward, but to also to live my day to day life.
Thank You!
