Dr. T has always had a love for music. His greatest inspirations musically were Prince and Michael Jackson growing up. Singing though seemed to have happened by chance with Dr. T. For one day, he was asked while in school, to fill in for someone in his high school quartet. He joined at the last minute as an alternate, and they ended up winning their state competition.

During college, Dr. T focused on medicine and put singing on the backburner. But after becoming a doctor, He then decided to sing a solo in church, after pressure from his wife; and a passion for singing soon developed.
