Bio

TJ Stewart was born and raised in the heart of “Music City USA” Nashville, Tennessee. He’s an artist that fans of Pop Singer-songwriters will instantly fall for. His smooth voice and slick guitar playing will draw you in; his lyrics, will keep you coming back for more. “Music for the heart” music blog compares TJ to Harry Styles, stating that “TJ stands out with a soft and controlled voice, and a sound that reminds of U2”. Heavily influenced and inspired by artists such as, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, U2, The Fray, and Onerepublic. In his first EP entitled “Square One” TJ showed that he can do it all writing and recording the entire EP on his own. Square One features dazzling solos, unforgettable melodies, and melancholy lyrics about life, love, and loss. After releasing his 2nd EP “Everything in February 2018, TJ took some time to listen, learn, write, and reflect. After tapping into the Pop/R&B side of things he started experimenting with new sounds; From spacial pads, to in your face synthesizers! He’d finally discovered the sound he’d been aiming for. In his 3rd EP, which is due to be released sometime this year, TJ is hoping to show the world how multi-faceted he really is! Instead of the quiet unassuming singer-songwriter persona he’d been known for previously, he starts to show off. It’s a more confident sound that gives you a clue as to why artists such as Dave Mustaine, and XM radio host Eric Alper have given him praise, not to mention tweeting about him as well. “Ear to the ground” music blog affirms that TJ’s “unhurried” quality makes his music a pure joy! And Eric Alper makes the case that TJ “Is a singer of tenderness, but also power!”
