The twenty-two-year-old phenom has commanded festival headlining stages, including Coachella, and opened at MetLife Stadium for The Rolling Stones. TAZ has starred on television and Broadway and has been championed by some of music’s biggest stars. Now, he prepares to unveil his long-anticipated recorded debut. TAZ is currently a touring guitarist with multi-Grammy-winning performer Jon Batiste.
For TAZ, music is a calling. He was inspired at age eight to pick up a guitar after seeing the film *School of Rock*, and just a few years later he was starring in *School of Rock: The Musical* on Broadway. By age sixteen, he had already performed with countless stars—including Lady Gaga, Jon Batiste, Stevie Nicks, Gregg Allman, Quinn XCII, Mac DeMarco, Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks, Slash, and The Revivalists—and earned an endorsement from John Mayer as “the first young guitar player that is not a gimmick.”
A live performer like no other—seamlessly slipping between blistering guitar riffs and soulful vocals with carefree charisma—TAZ built an international fan base through extensive touring across the U.S., Europe, Asia, Canada, and the Caribbean. He boasts an engaged social media following and recently capped a headlining tour with sold-out shows at Bowery Ballroom in New York City and venues across the United States.
In collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Theron “Neff-U” Feemster (Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Kendrick Lamar, Train, Michael Jackson), TAZ has written and recorded a slate of material for his genre-bending debut studio project—one that is sure to captivate his existing fans while drawing in an entirely new audience.
TAZ will graduate from Yale University in May 2025. While attending school, he has continued to expand his acting, musicianship, and multimedia performances in bold, original directions, exploring new creative dimensions. His acting career continues to flourish, most recently landing a role in Sony Pictures’ *Saturday Night*, the major motion picture based on the first episode of *Saturday Night Live*.
