TT

Refuge. Resilience. Redemption. For TT, that’s what music has al-ways represented: an opportunity to turn life’s challenges into something beautiful and empowering.

TT began making that discovery at six years old, decades before he debuted with 2025’s Man on the Corner. Diagnosed with a chronic kidney condition as a child, TT spent years dealing with the phys-ical pain and emotional trauma of a disease that left him crippled at a young age. As he relearned to walk, he found comfort in music — not only the musical theater songs that his mom sang around the house, but a wide mix of country, classical, and rock & roll. Those influences would eventually inspire Man on the Corner, a genre-bending record rooted not only in TT’s eclectic musical tastes, but also the observations made, lessons learned, and so-cial implications that resulted from his health challenges.

Man on the Corner may be inspired by TT’s own experience, but his songs cast a wider net, weaving a diverse web of sounds and sto-ries, all delivered by a longtime storyteller, songwriter, and survivor who refuses to waste another moment.
