# Tai Verdes

Tyler James Colon (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. 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."
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.
