Los Angeles, California native Tai Taylor was born September 21, 1989. At the tender age of 4 he enrolled in his first acting courses and connected with the Gold Marshak Liedtke Agency. He quickly became a hot commodity in the film and television world, and was booked as an extra in the pilot “Malcom in the Middle” with feature actor Frankie Muniz. After seeing him in action, directors insisted that he be a principal extra in various scenes throughout the show. Soon after, Tai picked up his Screen Actors Guild (SAG) card, hooked up with a new agency – Direct Talent Inc., and hit the road running – auditioning and booking featured roles on TNT as well as his most recent appearance in the 2010 season of “The Closer” on FOX Networks.
All the while Tai has stayed true to his musical grind. During high school a special project he was featured on served as a vital turning point in Tai honing into and understanding his own sound, flow and overall personality as an artist.

Lerix is a Brooklyn based emcee whose recording style is progressive and reminiscent of the “Golden Era.” His infatuation with hip hop started at the age of 14 through his older cousin Hank Love, who was the co-host of 105.9’s “Hank love and Half-Pint show.” Soon enough, Lerix started writing songs, and joined ciphers in high school with his friends in the lunchroom. Lerix’s music is often compared with hip hop heavy weights like Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.
In 2009, Lerix gained the opportunity to meet with record A&R’s. The meetings helped Lerix realize he wouldn’t compromise his persona to fit into the “industry model.” During the past year Lerix gained new perspectives on life and has not stopped recording music.
With constant recording, Lerix has preformed at numerous shows around the city. Most notably he played at Littlefield, for the Full Spectrum Show as part of the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival; at the Beauty Bar and at Rockwells.
