‘I want to give people chances to succeed’
Michael Stubbs, professionally known as AB Tazz, is a recording artist, singer, rapper, and songwriter born and raised in Utica, New York.
Stubbs was raised by both his mother and father in the central area of New York known as Cornhill. At 2 years old, his parents separated but stayed close-knit. Turning to music at a very young age, AB recalls watching his then stepdad create music in the studio. Became instantly fascinated by the creative process, and he hoped to learn how to someday create music of his own.
By the age of 16, he formed a group which he named “AB,” containing a few talented members from his community. “AB” is an abbreviation for Above & Beyond, a term referring to the talent and knowledge he possessed, knowing the places he could go were limitless.
Now, AB Tazz has a record label, AB The Label, in a joint venture with Ruby Recordings.
Tazz says, “I want to give people chances to succeed. With AB The Label, I feel like we have a platform and team that can mentor and build up talent in hip-hop music. With my own label, I want to use it as an opportunity to shape and promote artists that may not have gotten a chance otherwise.”
AB Tazz’s partnership with Ruby Recordings will provide AB The Label the ability to strategically leverage The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music, marketing, and promotions teams for select artists and projects.
AB wants to hear from you and see what you bring to the table. Follow him and the label on Twitter at @ABTazz & @ABTheLabel to learn more, and maybe shoot your shot at making it big. You never know our next story could be about YOUR success!.
