Landscape! You were 9 years old when I saw and heard you in Gottalen. I loved every moment of it. On the other hand, I'm glad that you didn't stop, you keep playing and singing. You also have your own compositions! Huge, genius, you have already become a well-known musician. I wish you many, many great and huge successes and great concerts! Have one goal, leave drugs and alcohol out of your life! From the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best! Lipták Kati from Hungary!

This kid is Phenomenal!! He IS DESTEND FOR FAME ! I HOPE he never has to fly. We have lost So Many Great Musicians to air tragedies that I am already fearful for his future travels. Prayers for a safe, long, long career and Thanks Taj !

[@lenanava5409]

Taj will go down in history as the best guitarist ever and the fact that he is soooooo young and also composing his own music and singing as well and playing so many different genres of music makes him the most talented musician ever....I can't wait to see what the future brings for this incredible young man.

[@suzettebavier4412]

🤜🤛 Agree!👍

[@pongoellis1670]

Rock on Taj! Now that is a Musician!

[@vanchick3262]

❤ Taj... so happy he is doing so well... I think he is going to be one of THE GREATS!

[@isabellac1117]

Watching lil man since he was wee one, and just starting as the prodigy he continues to be. He has “IT” ….. I just hope he stays safe in a musical industry where pariah’s swim. I know his parents sacrifice so much, and keep eyes on him. Taj is a rare breed!

[@PaulRhodes420]

Correction on the title where it says he's 13, he's 14!! "Crossroads" is awesome, #1 song on the charts at age 14 says wonders about his future! I started following Taj since he was 9 and he's always made my Goosebumps have Goosebumps, this song especially!

[@beckymeeks2291]

Me too!

[@waynereynolds1274]

Best wishes to this fine young Musician!

[@cameddy4081]

Wow Taj - you are amazing !!! you have come so far so fast !!!!! Your voice is really really good !!! You know so well what being alone is - ( you are an old soul , take the time to be young - don’t steamroll it ! ) thank you for your genius and your craft ! what a song you’ve built with “Crossroads “ - you got the ripping guitar , you have deep feeling for song structure, and the now the voice !!! Wow - keep the course mate ! Don’t let ANYTHING change your direction , YOUR discretion and or YOUR sense of ‘perfection’ no amount of money or fame is worth selling out - what you are is precious - get the fire going white hot !!!! Stoke your soul - you are a blast furnace!!! Thank you for being true to your heart and pursuing your dream - you are rockin’ the world and we love you and your music !!!!🎼🎼🎸🎼💥👍🙏🌏✌️

[@suzettebavier4412]

AMEN‼️👍

[@OldGuySailing]

Extremely well played! I’ve really enjoyed watching you grow ❤

[@MrShadow-qz9xj]

I hope that Taj stays as humble as he is, so often child prodigy's like Taj don't see their full success due to ego and the other trappings of the industry. I really hope he is able to remain humble and down to earth, as he will go very far.

[@user-pq9ed8uq1j]

Speechless am i! 😂 Thank you God. Ya done good with this young man!

[@timpangburn5287]

Awesome song Taj

[@bondjovi4595]

Dang this kid is good.

[@suzettebavier4412]

Taj is the very best lead🎸in the world, & has a heart of 💛. That wasn't his very Best; you should hear him on Rock 🎶, it'd blow your mind‼️ He was a child prodigy, btw😉

[@mamajudah7269]

Taj is 14 years old. Did he say New York ? Uh Oh Owe ! ! !😊❤

[@cocowills8534]

Stay in Kentucky!! Texas has too many bad weather issues.. Get into the Bluegrass scene! Can't wait to see whats next! But enjoy each moment. Time goes by too fast!

[@stephenescamilla2129]

The first time I saw this kid, he was nine years old .He didn't sing then, but wow, he has grown and is a phenomenal musician. God bless and stay your lane. I'm looking forward to your future, but take is slow, you've got years to grow.

[@puddya9613]

This reminds me a lot of how Joe Bonamassa, started 🥰

[@ianeland2323]

Nice work Taj

[@DDFreeman]

I knew you were going to sprout up tall !!!! Wonderful to finally see it happen !!!! Nuts + Dried Fruits (No Sugar Added) makes great easy quick snack when schedule is tight to eat right or enough to help keep weight on and build healthy flesh (unless contraindicated) ♥

[@pawznplay2772]

Ohh MAYBE the album will be ready to purchase by Feb.1st? Yea, buddy thatd be awesome. Ill bring my marker. 😅

[@fionaphilips6565]

Wonderful! They should your name in the title...

[@horsepowerhorsepower3861]

Wish I could Play...

[@clairebear1808]

Excellent good luck 👏👏👏🤗🫶

[@g4joe]

😄🎸👍🇬🇧 Yes.

[@lindapfister2484]

He is coming to harlows

[@beckymeeks2291]

Woo hoo!

[@lisabishop1541]

❤🎉😊

[@Jules.23109]

He got lucky, was born into an environment that encouraged his talent. He's so tall maybe people don't realise he is still a little kid entering into the awkwardness of puberty with all the complexities. Music is his grounding. Maybe he can consider that he is in a position to let other young kids find a passion to focus on to get them through the angst rather than resort to other self destructive roads...

[@skye.325]

He's gonna have a lot of girlfriends 😄

[@oscartheg6674]

Maybe nobody told you maybe somebody has but just remember Jesus loves you.

[@manderson3231]

That is an awesome song, but it doesn't display this young man's talent. He is like the reincarnation of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmi Hendrix mixed together!!! Check him out!!! 😮

[@MerryMac8]

S @manderson3231 1 month ago YOUR COMMENT: That is an awesome song, but it doesn't display this young man's talent. He is like the reincarnation of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmi Hendrix mixed together!!! Check him out!!! 😮 I MUST SAY THIS ABOUT YOUR COMMENT: ON MANY OF THE GUEST PLAYING SHOWS, TAJ SOUNDS FINE BUT NOT ALWAYS GREAT !!! THIS IS THE REASON!!! WHEN "CROSSROADS" CAME OUT THAT VIDEO AND SOUND WAS "AWESOME !!! THE SOUND AND TONE WAS ADDICTIVE AS ARE A LOT OF TAJ'S SONGS !!! THEN TAJ PLAYED AS A GUEST ON OTHER SHOWS. THE SOUND WAS OK AND NICE BUT "DID NOT HAVE THE QUALITY OF SOUND" HIS ORIGINAL ONE HAS !!! ANOTHER REASON WHY THE SOUND DOESN'T ALWAYS SOUND A+++ IS THE TYPE OF BUILDING, HEIGHT OF THE HALL ETC., ECHOING, OR EVEN THE STAGE HAS AN AFFECT ON THE SOUND WE HEAR !!! OF COURSE, THE QUALITY OF THE MICROPHONES ETC. MAKS A HUGE DIFFERENCE TOO !!! I NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WITH THE TOP ACAPELLA GROUP "PENTATONIX" ALSO !!! I WOULD HEAR A SONG THAT WAS 1,O00 % AWESOME, THEN I WOULD HEAR IT IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION AND WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SOUND. I STARTED TO REALIZE THAT THE SOUND CHANGED IN DIFFERENT BUILDINGS, STAGES ETC. THAT IS WHY THE SOUND IS AWESOME OR JUST SO, SO !!! I BELIEVE WHEN YOU HEAR "TAJ" SINGING "CROSSROADS" ON HIS RELEASE, YOU WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIS PLAYING AND SINGING OVER AND OVER AGAIN !!! HIS HUGE DIFFERENCE IN HIS SINGING TOO !!! I LOVE TAJ'S SINGING IN HIS ORIGINAL RELEASE OF "CROSSROADS SO IF YOU LIKED THIS ONE, WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE "REAL RELEASE" AND IT IS SO MUCH BETTER !!! QUITE FRANKLY, TAJ EARNS THE "TITLE" OF AWESOME SINGING AND SOUND !!! I STILL LOVE TO GO BACK AND LISTEN TO TAJ WHEN HE WAS 9 YEARS OLD. ALL OF THOSE ARE ON HIS"YOU TUBE" CHANNEL !!! IN THE SEARCH BAR ABOVE: TYPE IN " TAJ FARRANT " AND WATCH HIM IN LAS VEGAS PLAYING WITH "CARLOS SANTANA" AT 10 YEARS OLD !!! CHECK OUT TAJ PLAYING "ROCK BALLARD JAM" ABOUT 9 OR 10 YEARS OLD !!! DON'T FORGET HIS SISTER, JAZEL, 2 YEARS YOUGER, PLAYS DRUMS AND ALSO IS VERY TALENTED !!! BY ACCIDENT, WHILE BROWZING I CAME ACROSS TAJ WHEN HE WAS 8 YEARS OLD. ALSO CHECK OUT TAJ ON "THE ELLEN SHOW" ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD AND YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY !!! ON THE YT "SEARCH BAR ABOVE" TYPE IN TAJ ON "THE ELLEN SHOW." WOW !!! JUST WOW !!! THANKS TO THE FARRANT FAMILY FOR THEIR WONDERFUL GIFT TO THE WORLD !!!

[@lawrencef3560]

I see Stevie Ray Vaugh inside him

[@SammyJFox]

I believe he is him!

[@lawrencef3560]

@@SammyJFox I was looking at the comments, somehow nobody mentioned that. That's really SVR in terms of his facial expression, body movement with the guitar, the way of singing style and etc...

[@theguyinmaine]

keyboards are way too loud

[@jeanglaze2021]

I am so happy to hear you & your family have moved to the US! DO NOT MOVE TO TEXAS! You will not like it.
