notes

We are the vocal group from Tyler, Texas. Our love of music and performing entertained our families since early childhood when we sang in church choirs. Since 1989, when we won our first talent contest, we have seriously pursued our music careers.

Currently we are promoting our CD "Be Still" comprised of 13 original songs, with our goal of being the first group to chart on every genre someday. We can sing all styles of music from R&B to country using the versatility within our group. All members write songs individually as well as collectively.

"Tayste" is a family group with two brothers and a cousin, each a minister's son. Since age four we mimicked Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, memorizing words and choreography, dancing on our porches and sidewalks, performing for anyone who would listen. Golden Boy, never the shy one, always knew he wanted to be a performer, being too poor to afford an instrument, he and the others developed their voices into a golden harmony. When we entered our first talent contest we sang new edition's "Can You Stand The Rain". It was a gigantic lesson in quick thinking. Each microphone kept going out one by one. We kept singing and moving across the stage to the next microphone. We did it so well the audience never knew of the near miss and for an encore, we sang a cappella without any working microphones.

Winning that competition inspired us to move to Houston and seek a studio to record in for a demo tape. We worked day jobs and tried to go to college, but gigs kept us on the move. Being naive we quickly learned that we had to learn the ropes of the music business or be taken advantage of. By 1993 Golden Boy stepped up to lead the group with his creative force leading toward their goal.

Be still is R&B with a universal appeal. Our lyrics cover relationships, love, and sex. Tayste has the determination it takes to succeed, and we will achieve our goals. After surviving the struggles of the daily grind so that our unique vocal styles can reach everyone, we are inspired to sing our hearts out and to write the best songs we can. Our voices are a gift from "God" and we intend to share it with others.

  • Many of the love songs today lack the key word in the title…’love.’
    author: Chosun for Da Real Deal Entertainment Newsletter

    Many of the love songs today lack the key word in the title…’love.’ There is more songs written today about infidelity, lust, and sex that I find myself listening to more of the old school R&B songs than I do the new school. When I listen to Tayste, I immediately get taken back to the days of Hi-Five, Silk, Troop and New Edition. These young brother’s from Texas possess a style of R&B that you don’t find in too many groups this day and age. Tayste clearly stands firm within their music on a foundation of love. As R&B developed, just like many genres of music, many singers were left behind. If you weren't able to be versatile, you were easily forgotten. But Tayste proves through their music that you can keep that old school R&B feel within the new school, by sticking to the key element of what makes people listen, simply put…good music. Let’s face it, how many can compete to Usher, R. Kelly, Joe, Jagged Edge, Brain McKnight, etc? Answer: those that are different, your Musiq’s, Codie Chestnut’s, Reuben Studdard’s and Tayste. more on our website....
