Describe your genre of sound ?
A: I call it Proverbial Pop. It’s very conceptual and a lot of the songs have double meanings. Although it sounds contemporary, if you analyse it, it’s also very alternative. So we just soundbite that and call it “Proverbial Pop or PP” It’s very, very cool.

The artist known as TQ was born Terrance Quaites in Mobile, Alabama. Shortly thereafter, TQ’s family moved to Compton, California, the birthplace of N.W.A. and other rap legends. TQ was raised in the church (he sang in the choir) but his real education came from the streets, where the first wave of hip-hop music became the soundtrack to his life. “From Monday to Saturday I was hangin’, partyin’, chasing girls, getting in trouble, and straight-up acting the fool,” he admits. “But on Sunday my mother dragged me out of bed to go to church. That’s where I developed my singing voice and learned how to make people feel me.”
