Taye Rising Star From Decatur

Decatur, Alabama, isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of experimental R&B or genre-bending rap—but that’s exactly where Taye is redefining expectations.

Influenced by Tyler, the Creator, Frank Ocean, and Childish Gambino, Taye’s sound is fluid: part R&B soul, part rap grit, and part indie-pop flair. What makes it stand out is its honesty. Through his music, Taye opens up about anxiety, fear, and the rollercoaster of life while still leaving space for listeners to find their own stories in his lyrics.

His latest EP, The Bow and Arrow Tape, is more than music—it’s a manifesto of courage. Each track reflects a confrontation with fear, whether it’s the fear of love, failure, or rejection. In doing so, Taye has created a body of work that feels both personal and universal.

And while his career is just getting started, he’s already moving with purpose: collaborations with artists like Red Luna, conversations with Empire Records, and a growing online presence through Instagram and streaming platforms.

For Taye, the mission is clear: dream big, stay authentic, and make music that inspires people to do the same.
