From the album : The Second Coming ----
Originally 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.
The summer of 1998 saw TQ explode onto the music scene with the smash hit "Westside". Reaching #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, it was also a hit in the UK, peaking at #4 in that country. TQ's success continued in later that year, when They Never Saw Me Coming was released, along with the single "Bye Bye Baby"; "Better Days" followed the next year.
The pending 2000 release of a new album, The Second Coming, further proved TQ's talent. Unfortunately record company interference saw its release turn into shambles—missing songs and songs with the wrong guest appearances hampered the release of the album. However, despite never being released in America, it saw success overseas in Europe.
After this, TQ joined Cash Money Records. He made guest appearances on other Cash Money artists albums. TQ recorded his own Cash Money album, Gemini. Again, after record label problems, it was never officially released, until November 2007 online via TQ's MySpace page.
TQ eventually left Cash Money and independently released a new album Listen in America in 2004. It was later released in the UK.
In 2007, TQ made his most prominent international album appearance, being featured on a single from the debut album of Iranian-Canadian rapper Imaan Faith. Entitled "Let The Truth Be Known", Imaan's album released on Universal Music Canada and charted at #6 on the Nielsen SoundScan top ten in Canada the week of its March 11th release.
TQ's latest album Paradise released on April 29, 2008 in partnership with Gracie Productions and EMI Distribution.
