His partnership with the label, supported by distribution from Bungalo Music and Film through Universal Music Group, is steering him towards a breakout..

How Did He Get Here? From Barbados to the Global Stage

Music has always been a part of who Tezz is. Growing up in Barbados, he was surrounded by all kinds of sounds—calypso, reggae, gospel, R&B—you name it. That mix of influences still shapes his music today, but his love for raw, honest songwriting makes him stand out.

His debut tracks, “Show It Off,” “Hurt Like Hell,” and his latest, “Anytime,” are starting to kick up some dust. His music is discussed as having “smooth vocals, thoughtful lyrics, and soulful vibe…” that sticks with you long after the song ends.

Even though he’s just starting, Tezz Cart’R has a polished, authentic, gut-felt sound. He’s blending R&B, pop, and soul in a fresh way that still nods to the genre’s classic roots.

“Anytime”: The Breakout Single Turning Heads

Tezz’s latest single, “Anytime,” leans into the smooth, vulnerable side of R&B. It explores themes of longing and connection, with his voice gliding over mellow melodies and clean production. There’s a natural sincerity in the way he delivers each line, making it feel personal and relatable.

The track is available on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, landing on playlists such as “Brown Sugar” and “Grown N Sexy.” It’s a solid step forward for Tezz and a good intro for anyone looking to discover a fresh voice in R&B.

R&B has always had a loyal following, even if it hasn’t been front and center on the charts in recent years. But that might be shifting. Artists like Tezz Cart’R are bringing a new spark to the genre, staying true to its roots while exploring fresh sounds.

With support from music executive Paul Ring and the Bungalo Music and Film imprint, plus a style shaped by island vibes and urban soul, Tezz is carving out his lane in what some call a new wave for R&B.
