I am a singer/songwriter based out of Nashville, TN. Formerly, I was the singer and songwriter for a band I started called StephenSpeaks. We toured in the Midwest and interestingly enough, the Philippines! We had great success and a couple of strong underground hits- like the piano-based classic "Out of My League". After the band broke up, I moved to Nashville and began a solo career. My first solo release," Kind of Life", was released in Nov. 2004. "Long Live Love-EP" was released in Feb. 2008. Both albums are available on iTunes and CdBaby.com.
Band/artist history
As an independent songwriter and artist, his songs have sold tens of thousands of albums, both in physical copies and online. Several songs, including "Passenger Seat" and "Out of My League", have become underground classics on high school and college campuses around the nation, thanks to indie radio, over two million streaming listens, and over 20,000 paid downloads.
With the band he founded in highschool, StephenSpeaks, as both lead singer and songwriter, he toured throughout the US and Asia, stumbling on two 1 smash hits in the Philippines, and a 1 video on MTV-Asia. TJ's acoustic folk/pop style and heartfelt lyrics have earned him widespread recognition as a songwriter and vocalist, being compared to such artists as Bebo Norman, James Blunt, Five for Fighting, and John Mayer. His song "Miles Between Us" was used in the motion picture "Decoys" (2004) which received international airplay and distribution. With his solo debut, "Kind of Life"(2005), TJ again turned heads and ears with a combination of well-written CCM and AC/pop songs together on one collection. The recently released "Long Live Love" (2008), is full of unforgettable, "acousti-pop" love songs, ready-made for mainstream radio.
TJ's far-reaching talent has earned him fans from a number of different genres. In 2006 and 2007, he penned collections of kids' songs for Parable Bookstores, which quickly became the chain's highest selling items. A follow up collection is planned for Christmas 2008.
With his deeply written songs, unforgettable melodies and disarmingly honest, simple style, TJ McCloud sells albums and wins over listeners for the long run; always keeping them coming back to sing along- for just one more chorus...
