Music: Tay Zonday

I move away from the mic to describe tropes.

Adam Nyerere Bahner, better known as Tay Zonday, first gained fame in July 2007 for his original song "Chocolate Rain

," the source of many an Internet meme. Tay also has his own You Tube channel

, host to several of his own homemade songs.

Adam Westing: Most notably in his "Cherry Chocolate Rain" video for Dr Pepper.
Auto Tune: Used in "Roll the Dice".
Badass Baritone
Black and Nerdy
Genre Savvy: Best shown on "Youtubers React".
Hidden Depths: He comes across as very smart and Genre Savvy when he's not singing.
Older Than He Looks: He was in his mid-20s when he wrote "Chocolate Rain."
Rickroll: Of course.
Self-Backing Vocalist: Present in "Musicolio," where he sings all the backing vocals and plays all the instruments on his keyboard.
Vocal Dissonance: He looks about 12 in the "Chocolate Rain" video but has a rather deep voice.
Word Salad Lyrics: Most of "Chocolate Rain" seems to be this. (In truth, it's a song about racial discrimination, with heavy use of metaphors.)
Word Salad Title: "I wanted a catchy artist name that had zero search results on Google."
