Bio From Wikipedia
Terrance Quaites (born May 24, 1976) is an American R&B singer, known professionally as TQ.

Growing up in Compton, California, TQ formally revealed his music during the 2Pac era; in which controversy surrounding his Westside inspired lyrics censored and hindered the radio play and award eligibility most likely he would have received. Despite this TQ never stopped expressing. "I guess the truth, for a lot of reasons, mainstream America won't be able to accept. But I think most of those are foolish reasons, but that's just the way it is." There are unwritten rules that says to be a successful R&B singer you must maintain a safe, middle of the road lyrical agenda. Yet, breaking rules is the rule for the LA-bred singer and composer TQ.

TQ isn't the first artist to combine hard-core hip-hop lyrical scenarios with a melodic r&b vocal delivery. But with this 14 track collection, he's taken this particular form to the next level of expression. TQ wraps his soulful, yearning tenor around the raw, uncensored language of the '90s hip-hop generation, but uses that language to tell stories of cinematic detail and heartfelt emotion.

Terrance Quaites was never a thug in the true sense of the word. His hard-working parents instilled positive values and did not hesitate to set him straight when he was wrong. "From Monday to Saturday, I was hanging out, partyin’, chasing girls, and getting into trouble, straight-up acting like a fool," he admits. "But Sunday my mother dragged me out of bed to go to church. In retrospect, sending me saved my life. Well it did something anyway." - TQ His music is a mix of West Coast hip hop, based on artists like Too $hort, Ice-T, Ice Cube, 2Pac and Eazy-E. As far as hip-hop goes, it influenced his writing along with the older R&B acts such as Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.

A native of Mobile, Alabama, TQ began his music career in the early 1990s with the R&B ensemble Coming of Age, who had a hit with the ballad "Coming Home to Love". After two album releases, the group went their separate ways.

January 1999 saw TQ explode onto the U.K. music scene with smash hit "Westside", which was also a U.S. hit, peaking at #12. TQ's success continued in May, when They Never Saw Me Coming was released. Singles "Bye Bye Baby" and "Better Days" followed later that year.

In 2000 the U.K. release of a new album, TQ - The Second Coming further proved TQ's talent. However, the trouble began. Record company's interference saw the album release turn into a bit of a shambles. Missing songs and songs with the wrong guest appearances, hampered the release of the album. It was never released in America.

After this, TQ joined Cash Money Records. He made guest appearances on other Cash Money artists albums. He recorded his own album, Gemini, but again, after problems, it was never released. TQ eventually left Cash Money and independently released Listen in 2004, in America. It was later released in the U.K.

He has just finished working on his new album Paradise, which is scheduled for release on April 29, 2008 in partnership with Gracie Productions and EMI Distribution. This will be his 4th official solo album, as his Gemini LP was never officially released. In November 2007, TQ released the Gemini album for sale online, via a message on his MySpace page.
