orical genres. Some of TC’s greatest influences are

mbining Hip Hop , RnB, Rock, Jazz and Blues which 
has allowed him to prosper as an artist, create his
 own lane and uniqueness, as well as enabling him t

ability to create great music. 
Early career
TooClassical started out his career in 2007 when he
 joined a group of four young rappers named, Flow 
Yungerz. He also founded a partnership with Urban C
ircle Records (a community centre record label) 
which allowed him and Flow Yungerz to record a huge
 amount of songs during the year he spent with 
them. 
In 2008 he left both the group and the label and be
gan to take the initial step towards his independen
t 
career; which consisted of freestyling and performi
ng throughout many festivals and music sets across 
the country. 
After moving to Wolverhampton, he began to take his
 music much more seriously; producing more 
focus and effort, missing College classes to partak
e in freestyle battles. Through these freestyle bat
tles, 
TC was spotted by an individual who knew someone wh
o was looking for members to join the Hip Hop 
group; NMG (No More Games). After taking up the off
er, TC and the group went on to release a mixtape 




named Pen to Paper; which had a great impact in the
 streets of Wolverhampton and achieved great 
sales. 
Throughout that year NMG became the word of the tow
n and spread through many areas in West 
Midlands, which lead to the recognition of several 
independent record labels and contracts being put 
into place. 
However, in 2011 TooClassical departed from the gro
up on a positive note due to the ambition to fully 
focus on his solo career. 
Throughout this time TC began to perform around the
 region at events, while planning his first solo 
mixtape entitled Who’s About This. However before t
aking major actions towards his this body of work, 
he wanted to develop his sound, so he teamed up wit
h a local artist Cornstar; which lead to a joint 
project and mixtape. Face Off the mixtape, was rele

dy Architectural Venue and through the year began 
to record, and finally release his first solo mixta
pe which helped widen his audience and build his di
verse 
catalogue of music. 
V
ision for the future
While working on Who’s About This TooClassical was 
already on the process of his second mixtape 
"Vintage". This mixtape took approximately a year t
o complete because of TC’s obsession of wanting to 
perfect and define his sound. 
With this project he has dug deep within himself to
 show his original sound and ability to compose 
songs; he did not want to release just another repe
titive mixtape but believes Vintage could lead to t
he 
beginning of something special. 
The concept of the Vintage is the true definition o
f his stage name, and his love for olden music. The
songs, sounds and samples used are reminiscent of B
lues and Jazz, which produces a ‘Classical’ feel. 
The ambition to have a hit number one in the charts
 and touching people’s hearts with his music is 
strong within TooClassical, and with past success, 
determination for the future, and an exciting mixta
pe 
to release soon; he is not far from achieving this.
