3T

3T, consisting of Taj, Taryll, and TJ Jackson, represents the second generation of the Jackson musical dynasty. Formed in the mid-90s, the trio was mentored by Michael Jackson and signed to his MJJ Music label.

Their sound identity is a refined blend of contemporary R&B and pop, characterized by dense vocal stacking and a melodic sensibility that mirrors the work of their uncles in the Jacksons and Michael's solo output. Their 1995 debut, 'Brotherhood,' was a global success, particularly in Europe where they became one of the biggest-selling groups of the decade. Critically, they are noted for maintaining the family's high standards of vocal performance while adapting to the hip-hop-inflected R&B landscape of the 90s. Their career arc saw a significant peak in the mid-90s followed by a shift toward the European market and independent releases in the 2000s and 2010s. They occupy a unique cultural space as both heirs to a pop throne and legitimate contributors to the vocal group tradition alongside peers like Boyz II Men.
