Taio Cruz is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop. Their sound grew out of Kesha, Pitbull, Tinchy Stryder, Jennifer Lopez and David Guetta. Those roots explain a lot about how Taio Cruz arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, Iyaz, will.i.am and The Wanted, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tinchy Stryder, McFly, Nightcrawlers, David Guetta and Jennifer Lopez, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
