TJ sings about the feeling of being unappreciated in a relationship, later acknowledging the difficulty of ending a relationship once your heart has already committed itself to that person. TJ hopes %u2018Emergency%u2019 is a song that others will relate to.aylor began his career at the age of 16 when he recorded a song using a homemade microphone and a Windows laptop. He then posted the new creation to YouTube. TJ%u2019s self-creation, %u2018Fallen Out%u2019 reached #2 on the Top Urban Charts in the UK and remained in the Top 5 for the following eight weeks. It was not long after that TJ%u2019s online following gave notice to record labels in the UK. TJ%u2019s first professional release came in 2012, with %u2018Rock This Party%u2019. The song soared to #6 in Poland, #16 in Australia, and #25 on the German Dance Charts.

In 2013, Taylor released a version of %u2018Something%u2019 with the Belgian dance band Lasgo. %u201cI loved working on the new version of %u2018Something.%u2019 I was in the studio co-producing it and doing additional writing on the record too.%u201d TJ says that collaborating on such a hit song was a great experience, but one his mom might have enjoyed more. He explains, %u201cWhen I told my mum I was on the official release by Lasgo she could not believe it. %u2018Something%u2019 was one of her favorite songs 14 years ago!%u201d However, this collaboration is just the beginning for TJ, as he envisions working with different artists in the future. TJ tells Most that he would love to collaborate with groups like Owl City. %u201cOwl City produces and writes their music, and it is always something different from the usual, which I love. They are one of my biggest influences.%u201dTaylor was able to finance his music video for %u2018Fallen Out%u2019, by MCing in clubs in his hometown of Swindon, UK. TJ has completed music videos for both %u2018Rock This Party%u2019 and %u2018Something%u2019. Many of his music videos feature various scenic locales. %u201cMy most memorable music video was to a record that was released under a synonym of mine. The record is called %u2018Understand%u2019 %u2013 Symon Alexander and I blew up a caravan, had a helicopter, and a crew of 45 people; it was such a memorable day.%u201dTJ is not only a singer and songwriter, but a host and presenter as well! In Belgium, TJ conducted inter-views with celebrities Selena Gomez and Chloe Grace Moretz.
