Refuge. Resilience. Redemption. For TT, that’s what music has always represented: an opportunity to turn life’s challenges into something beautiful and empowering.

TT began making that discovery at six years old, decades before he debuted with his first album, 2025’s MAN ON THE CORNER. Diagnosed with a chronic kidney condition as a child, TT spent years dealing with the physical pain and emotional trauma of a disease that left him crippled at a young age.

As he relearned to walk, he found comfort in music — not only the musical theater songs that his mom sang around the house, but a wide mix of country, classical, and rock & roll. Those influences would eventually inspire “A Moment Ago”, a genre-bending record rooted not only in TT’s eclectic musical tastes, but also the observations made, lessons learned, and social implications that resulted from his health challenges.

6. Old Glory
7. Ghost in Your Shoes
8. You Gotta Earn Me
9. A Moment Ago

This heartfelt, impassioned and magnificently sculpted new recording opens on the gently rambunctious My Confession and the drum-led rocker Let Us Breathe and then we get brought forth the veritably choir-like, Midge Ure-esque Heal My Heart, and the freeflowing country AOR of My Kind of Cowgirl.

Along next is the dutifully calming ballad Little One, Little Man which is itself followed by the mid-tempo, gritty strum-along of Old Glory, the guitar rocker Ghost in Your Shoes, the album rounding out on the Americana-folk-rock of You Gotta Earn Me, closing on the delicately-hued piano balladry of A Moment Ago.

MAN ON THE CORNER may be inspired by TT’s own experience, but his songs cast a wider net. Let Us Breathe tackles the looming threat of climate change, while You Gotta Earn Me — with its vocal harmonies and rootsy instrumentation — unfolds like a tribute to self-esteem.

Having helped friends through the difficulties of addiction, he sympathizes with those who struggle with this affliction in Ghost in Your Shoes. Inspired by fatherhood, Little One Little Man finds TT singing to his two children over acoustic guitar and cinematic strings.

Together, those songs weave a diverse web of sounds and stories, all delivered by a longtime storyteller, songwriter, and survivor who refuses to waste another moment.
