Taio Cruz

Adetayo Ayowale Onile-Ere, known professionally as Taio Cruz, is an English singer, songwriter, rapper, and record producer born on April twenty-third, nineteen eighty. Cruz's journey in music began in the mid-2000s when he was discovered by American record producer Tricky Stewart, leading him to join RedZone Entertainment as an in-house talent.

In two thousand six, Cruz released his debut single, "I Just Wanna Know," which marked his entry into the UK singles chart and set the stage for his future success. His debut studio album, "Departure," released in two thousand eight, was entirely written, arranged, and produced by Cruz himself. The album received gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry and garnered critical acclaim, including a nomination at the 2009 Music of Black Origin Awards.

Transitioning to an EDM-pop sound, Cruz's second album, "Rokstarr," released in two thousand nine, achieved significant commercial success, entering thirteen international music charts and peaking within the top ten of the Billboard 200. The album featured hit singles such as "Break Your Heart" and "Dynamite," both of which topped the UK singles chart and performed exceptionally well on the Billboard Hot 100.

His third studio album, "TY.O," released in two thousand eleven, included popular tracks like "Hangover" featuring Flo Rida and "There She Goes" featuring Pitbull. Although it did not achieve the same level of success as his previous albums, Cruz continued to make his mark in the industry by co-writing several hit songs for other artists, including Jennifer Lopez and David Guetta.
