Let me give you a clue.
He’s pretty much an all-rounder when it comes to music: he sings, produces and writes songs both for himself and other artists including Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Shane Ward, Britney Spears, Brandy, Justin Timberlake, Sugababes, Tinchy Stryder and Cheryl Cole.
He’s probably one of the most talented music artists the UK has to offer in that sense.
He released his debut album ‘Departured’ in 2008 and since then has released one more album, been nominated for a MOBO award and won a BRIT award.
Some of his tracks include, “I Just Wanna Know”, “Moving On”, “Come On Girl” and “She’s Like a Star”.
Yep thats right, its Taio Cruz.
Mr Cruz released ‘Break Your Heart’ in the UK in September 2009 and it topped the charts for 3 weeks.
He’s now recorded a remix of the hit with US-rapper Ludacris and its just topped the iTunes chart in America.
After hearing the news, he wrote on his Twitter, “Thanks everyone who has bought ‘Break Your Heart’ in the US. You’ve made it Number 1.”
Have a listen to the track that America’s going mad for,
So things are going really well for Taio at the moment but I bet Cheryl Coles management are kicking themselves right now. Taio Cruz told MTV News,
‘I wrote a couple of songs for Cheryl Cole, and Break Your Heart was one of them, Stand Up was another one, which is on her album, but we sent both of the songs to her record label and we didn’t really hear back from them.
We just thought if they’re not going to get back to us, we’ll just carry on moving so I took it back, and changed the verses and made it work for a guy and then put it out.’
They came back to us like later and were like “oh that Break Your Heart song, I’ve been listening to it on my ipod it’s really cool! We would definitely like that for Cheryl.
We were like ‘that’s gonna be kinda difficult now, cos it’s all over the radio and we shot a video for it and everything’ so that was quite funny.’
Have a listen to Taio’s next release for the UK called ‘Dirty Picture’ featuring Ke$ha,
Congrats Taio! Keep doing it for the UK
