About
London. Jacob Taio Cruz. 'Departure' (2008) was the underrated UK debut; 'Rokstarr' (2009) gave the world 'Break Your Heart' (a Hot 100 #1 with Ludacris) and 'Dynamite' (one of the biggest pop-EDM crossovers of 2010, six-times platinum). Pop-EDM crossovers that defined a brief, very specific 2010 club-radio window. He wrote 'Just Say Yes' for Snow Patrol; the songwriting credits are deeper than the solo career let on. Underrated as a producer and writer; the peak singles run is permanent in the early-2010s pop-EDM canon.
