Featured Artist
Roadrunner Productions invites you to have an ‘A-O-K’ time with Tai Verdes as the headliner for this year’s BestFest.
Tai's breakout single "Stuck In The Middle" took flight hitting #1 on Spotify's 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 follow-up single "A-O-K" followed 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 climbed the charts, landing at #12 on Top 40 Pop Radio, and #34 on the Billboard Hot 100. Tai has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The TODAY Show, as well as Lollapalooza 2021 to a crowd of 35,000 people, which was his first-ever live set.
