T.I.N. |
|
Musically, T.I.N. draws from a solid crop of influences – from Switchfoot to Springsteen – that have helped him learn the art of writing a pop song while keeping a foot in rock and roll. His music is polished enough to swagger right onto the radio, but raw enough to sound honest – and, it’s worth mentioning, is much more rock and roll than you’d ever expect from someone who’s had the dubious honor of being tagged Seventeen Magazine’s “It Boy.” “When it comes to the lyric side, I aspire to be one-tenth of John Mayer. His lyrics are unbeatable,” T.I.N. says. “I also side with the Beatles, only in the sense that I’m a big fan of cool melody lines and changes that are unexpected. I know that we broke the mold a couple of times.” T.I.N.'s love affair with music began at age 14 when he began searching for new ways to express himself. |
