Tyler James Colon[2] (born December 6, 1995), known professionally as Tai Verdes, is an American singer. He grew up in Southern California where he played guitar, piano, and ukulele. Playing on the basketball team during his attendance at Babson College, he maintained his love for music and eventually dropped out. He was also featured on and won season 6 of Are You the One?. He worked at a phone store during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this still helped further his musical passion and during the same time, he released his breakout single "Stuck in the Middle" in June 2020. The song went viral on TikTok.[1] He responded to his newfound success saying the song "doesn't just turn into a million dollars and a nice car. It turns into waiting-which I think I've gotten pretty good at."[3]

In May 2021, he released his debut full-length studio album, TV. The album featured the single "A-O-K", which peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved 24.7 million radio plays.[4]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Verdes released his first single, "Stuck in the Middle," in mid-2020, which garnered millions of views across various streaming platforms. At the time, he was living on a friend’s couch and working at a Verizon phone service store. Prior to this, he auditioned for shows like The Voice and American Idol without success. However, he won an MTV dating series when he starred on season 6 of Are You the One?.

"Stuck in the Middle" went viral on TikTok, and this success extended to other singles like "Sheesh!" and "Drugs."[4][5]

In January 2022, Verdes signed a global publishing deal with Kobalt Music Group, citing "artist-friendly" contract terms.[6] He had previously signed with Arista Records, a record label owned by Sony Music.

On September 16, 2022, Verdes released his second studio album HDTV.
