1) TC stormed to success after the release of his debut album in 2007 and has not looked back since. With all the major DJs smashing his tunes and the unprecedented support of dance music’s elite, TC is D&B’s new wonder boy, rising through the ranks to receive the prestigious accolade of ‘Best Producer/Breakthrough Producer’ in the 2007 1Xtra ‘Xtra Bass Awards’ ceremony. Consistently tearing up dancefloors across the country with his signature big, bouncy, bass-heavy tunes, TC is a force to be reckoned with. Each of the singles taken from his debut album 'EVOLUTION' ('Deep', 'Jump', 'Rockstar' and 'Where's My Money') topped both the BBC Radio 1's National Dance chart as well as BBC 1Xtra's D&B chart. Since then, TC has kept the standards high and feels very strongly that despite his successes his work is far from over. With big plans and exciting projects for the future, this jump-up juggernaut is one of the brightest sparks in the scene and will continue to keep us on our toes for a long time yet!
2) Songwriter & vocalist TC, born in Kentucky on June 16, instantly became interested in stardom while singing in church every Sunday since the tender age of 2. His mom literally told him, Shut Up Boy as he would grace the house with his powerful voice. Growing up he listened to Whitney Houston, and was almost able to completely mimic her sound. As he got older he became a huge Brandy fan, which helped develop his ear for creating a well written song, first by learning to enhance his voice into different variations of tones and vibratos. He has also been influenced by other greats in the industry as well. Candice Nelson, Kim Burrell, Tank, and Beyonce, just to name a few. TC has had some industry exposure, but it wasn't quite his time. He was a top ten finalist on BETs Mariah Carey contest for upcoming singers. He has also auditioned for American Idol, and Showtime at the Apollo, but has yet to grace their stages. If you ask him about his feelings toward not being selected to compete, he will openly tell you, “I didn't make it…It wasn't my time! I'll just keep going!” TC is very new, innovative, and unique to the music industry because of camo style, in addition to his outgoing personality, crazy penmanship & melodic harmonies! Even though new to the writing game, he has been blessed to work with the likes of his Idol Brandy, Chilli of (TLC), Megan Rochell, Danja, Rodney Jerkins, and more. TC gives all his credits to God for giving him such a powerful gift, and all of the many influences surrounding his dream to become one of the greats in the music industry.
3) TC is also Trevor C, just a dude that makes awesome music from pianos and computers and is not either of these other dudes.
JUMP
TC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling in you said was for fools
But when you're standing on the edge
You won't hear me because your blood is singing
Jump jump go ahead and jump jump
If it's what your heart is wanting to do
This is real life you're dreaming through
And there is no glue to hold you down, so go ahead and...
Scared of love, love and aeroplanes
Falling out I said takes no brains
But if your flight is going rough
Your soul will lead you to the nearest exit
Jump, jump...
While you're waiting
Time is grinning
Clocks and watches laughing at your indecision
While you're waiting
Worlds are spinning
Find another heart and drive into collision
Knowing this can you tell me you're...
Scared of love, love and swimming pools
Stubbornness, I say is for mules
But if you're standing on the edge
You won't hear me because your blood is singing
Jump jump go ahead and jump jump
If it's what your heart is wanting to do
This is real life you're dreaming through
And there'll be no wake up
Jump jump go ahead and jump jump
If it's what your heart is wanting to say
This is really your lucky day
And there is no glue to hold you down, so go ahead and...
Go ahead and jump
The lyrics of TC's song Jump suggest taking risks in life, specifically when it comes to matters of the heart. The singer addresses someone who is scared of love and compares that fear to being scared of swimming pools or airplanes. The person is hesitant to jump into love and give themselves fully, believing that falling in love is foolish. TC encourages them to take the leap, letting go of their fear and allowing their heart to guide them. The singer acknowledges that time is ticking and waiting can lead to missed opportunities, while the world keeps spinning and others around them are finding love.
TC's use of metaphors in the song is clever, as they help to illustrate the point of taking risks in life. Swimming pools and airplanes represent the fear of love and falling in it, while standing on the edge represents a hesitation to let go of fear and take the leap. The lyrics encourage the listener to listen to their soul, allowing it to lead them to the nearest exit if things get rough. The song reminds us that life is unpredictable but that taking a leap of faith in love can be a fulfilling and fortunate choice.
Overall, Jump by TC is a powerful message encouraging people to be brave when it comes to matters of the heart. It challenges us to let go of our fears and take chances, reminding us that sometimes taking a risk can lead to the most rewarding outcomes.

Scared of love, love and swimming pools
The fear of being hurt in a romantic relationship is preventing me from diving in, just like how fear of drowning keeps some people from swimming.
Falling in you said was for fools
You cautioned me against falling in love, believing it's foolish to let my guard down and open up to someone.
But when you're standing on the edge
You won't hear me because your blood is singing
Even though you warned me about the risks of loving, I'm so drawn to it that I will ignore your advice and listen to my instinct instead.
Jump jump go ahead and jump jump

Go ahead and jump
If you truly desire to take that leap of faith, to love or pursue a dream, then you should do it, as there's no magical force keeping you from chasing after what you want.
Scared of love, love and aeroplanes
Falling out I said takes no brains
But if your flight is going rough
Your soul will lead you to the nearest exit
Jump, jump...
Just like people with a fear of flying avoid boarding an airplane to prevent the possibility of crashing, some avoid relationships because they think they will end badly. But if things get tough, your intuition will guide you to leave that situation.
While you're waiting
Time is grinning
Clocks and watches laughing at your indecision
While you're waiting
Worlds are spinning
Find another heart and drive into collision
Knowing this can you tell me you're...
As you hesitate to act on your desires, time is slipping away and mocking you for not taking action. The world keeps turning and moving on, so it's up to you to seek out someone to crash into - someone who will challenge you to pursue your dreams.
Stubbornness, I say is for mules

You won't hear me because your blood is singing
Jump jump go ahead and jump jump

You may think that being obstinate is a sign of strength, but it can also be a result of fear. However, if you're so captivated by love or a goal that you can't hear anyone's cautionary tales, then follow your heart, because this is not an illusion that you'll snap out of anytime soon.
Jump jump go ahead and jump jump
If it's what your heart is wanting to say
This is really your lucky day

Go ahead and jump
Your heart's desire is beckoning you, so don't hold back, because today is a great day to start chasing after what you want, and there's nothing to stop you from taking the plunge.
