Jamaican born Taz had an early introduction to the Jamaican music scene and Sound System from hanging out in local studios at a young age with the likes of Terra Fabulous, Monster Shock and Lee’s Unlimited. At the tender age of 12, Taz uprooted and moved to London where music became an even bigger part of his life. His big break came in 2004 when he hooked up Grime artist Dizzee Rascal. Taz produced and co-wrote the stand out hit ‘Just A Rascal’ and supported Dizzee on his 2004 ‘Boy In Da Corner’ UK Tour. This success led to further production and remix work which resulted in remixes of Ashanti’s ‘Rain On Me’ and ‘Rock Withchu’ as well as ‘Locked Up’ taken from Akon’s ‘Trouble’ LP earning him two platinum plaques and chart exposure on both sides of the Atlantic. As a result of his early success he became the first the UK rapper signed to Def Jam thanks to DJ Semtex who was head of A&R at Def Jam UK at the time. More accolades followed with him being awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello awards for his part in putting UK Grime onto the global mainstream music map. Taz’s debut album ‘Analyse This’ featured the likes of Kardinal Offishall and Terri Walker and boasted UK Top 40 hit ‘Can’t Contain Me’. ‘Cowboy Film’ went on to become a UK Hip Hop classic featuring Kardinal Offishall and the remix featured fellow UK heavyweights Sway and Bigz which revolutionised urban video in the UK. Taz continued to write and produce with Dizzee and his track ‘Learn’ from the 2007 LP ‘Showtime’ gave Taz another plaque to add to his collection, this time a gold one. He then went on to tour with the likes of Kanye West and Sean Paul, he even got the opportunity to perform for Prince Charles at the Princes Trust concert alongside the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. Other notable artists Taz has performed on tracks alongside include Styles P, Estelle, , Arrow Benjamin and more. Acclaimed DJ’s such as Radio One’s Jo Whiley, Ras Kwame and Tim Westwood championed Taz from early with regular radio rotation for his releases over the years. He has also received notable press from the likes of The Guardian, Dazed and Confused and more. In 2008 Taz went on to form DMT which saw him enjoy global success with ‘Touch U’ and be signed to Universal Music International. Most recently Taz has enjoyed more chart success with a double number one on Traxsource with Mousse T which he co-wrote with U.S singer / songwriter Inaya Day on the massive 2018 disco banger ‘Rock Da Mic’ which released under Glitterbox. Taz has gone onto share his writing talents worldwide with peers across the globe at some of the top writing camps in China, America, Norway and Canada. As of 2021 Taz is transitioning in the corporate world with the launch of his company Alternative Content which focuses on bespoke services such as partnering music with the gaming world and placing songs in games while he continues to write and produce and develop artists.
