"Roblox has always been about empowering our developer community to build next generation experiences on the platform for the global community to enjoy." "We thrive on artists' creativity and it inspires us to push the boundaries of what our proprietary technology and avatars can do," said MELON CEO Devon Thome. Leading music partnerships, MELON President Josh Neuman remarked: "We're thrilled to partner with Roblox to help shape this new medium and re-imagine what music experiences can be."

After posting a series of TikTok videos, Tai's breakout single "Stuck In The Middle" took flight hitting #1 on Spotify's (News - Alert) US viral chart and has since amassed more than 120 million streams and over 3.5 million TikTok creations, being viewed over 3 billion times since the song's release in late May 2020. Tai's latest single "A-O-K" is following a similar path, having amassed more than 300 million streams, 1.3 million TikTok creations, and earning him #1 on Billboard's Emerging Artist Chart. The song continues to climb the charts, currently at #12 at Top 40 Pop Radio, and #34 on the Billboard Hot 100. Tai has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The TODAY Show, and garnered praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV, NYLON, Genius (News - Alert), Complex, VMAN, Lyrical Lemonade, Variety, Stereogum, and more. The 25-year-old may have won the TikTok lottery, but he's playing the long game. And he's playing for keeps. "I'm gonna be a problem," says the 6'7" singer with a smile, who carries himself with as much charisma as stature. "I love everything that's happening. But this is not a one song thing, this is a 10-album thing."
