TAJ

General Nature: Thoughtful, introspective, and poetic, Taj is the type to sit on the roof at 3 AM, staring at the stars while smoking and pondering the universe. He’s a deep thinker with a love for words, philosophy, and abstract concepts. Despite his intellectual side, he’s not pretentious—he’s just naturally lost in thought. He’s the type to answer a simple question with something cryptic, not to sound smart, but because his brain just works that way.

Backstory: Born to a Jamaican mother and a Japanese father, Taj grew up balancing two cultural influences but always felt a bit like an outsider in both. He found comfort in poetry, hip-hop, and literature, eventually developing his unique philosophy of life. He went to college but dropped out, disillusioned by academia. Now, he and Tomi run a small creative agency where they take on odd artistic gigs—logo design, spoken word performances, videography, and offbeat ad campaigns.

How He Met Tomi: They met in college, initially clashing because Tomi thought Taj was a pretentious know-it-all. Over time, their differences created a perfect creative tension, and they became inseparable as both business partners and friends.

Vocal Style: Soft-spoken, but every word feels deliberate and meaningful. He speaks with a poetic rhythm, often letting sentences linger.
