I think some artists like to bend the truth in order to make the song more entertaining. What does authenticity as a new artist mean to you?Įverything. I was really in a flow of honesty when I wrote this song. Probably the line “friends turn into sleepovers and sleepovers turn into love.” There’s no one on this planet that can tell me that shit isn’t 100% accurate. I don’t think I’ve ever done a million of anything… maybe blinking? Nothing has changed in my day to day life… but when I check the numbers sometimes that shit doesn’t make sense. How has the process of your song doing so well on Spotify been for you? Get to know Tai better below as he talks about the sudden success, authenticity as a new artist, and how he has managed to find space for his music in all the online noise. “Stuck in the Middle” feels like staring at the sunset on one of those days when the truth comes easy. It tells the story of being stuck in the middle of a relationship between being lovers and friends – with all the complexities of the situation. The song itself is the perfect summertime song to vibe to if you need something to brighten up your mood. Instead he is showing that independent down to earth artists can find their footing even in a deeply saturated market with enough charisma and dedication. Not only is he finding success during unprecedented times, but he is also doing it with no marketing budget. You can find Tai working at a Verizon store in the LA area, making TikToks about his story, and singing in his parking garage. Currently, Tai is working on his debut EP, which is sure to be something to get hyped about. His recent single “Stuck in the Middle” hit number 1 on the Spotify US viral chart within 30 days and was put as the cover of Fresh & Chill as well. This 24-year-old pop/alternative singer-songwriter is a lesson in believing in yourself and your work. Sometimes timing, hard work, and luck all find their way into the same arena – and in this case, Tai Verdes was ready to shoot his shot.
