TJ got his start in the music scene in 2016, inspired by a love for festivals, concerts, and community. That passion led to co-creating Terra Nova, where he built experiences in Cleveland centered around music, connection, and wellness.

Outside of music, I’ve always lived an active lifestyle, playing college sports and staying grounded through fitness, yoga, biking, and time in nature. My focus on mental health and self-development naturally inspired me to bring more wellness into the music scene.

In 2021, I launched the Beats & Bliss series, blending live bands, DJs, and yoga into a unique and immersive experience. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with local artists and been part of larger events across the city at various venues in the city, including All Cleveland Fest, helping give back over 13,000 meals to the Cleveland Food Bank.
