After graduation Tech-T moved to Las Vegas where he performed in many talent shows.  He took second and third place in two of the biggest shows in Vegas at the time. After spending two years in Vegas, Tech-T returned to Colorado where he attended Metropolitan State College of Denver.  He studied music and business management.  He managed to take his beats and lyrics to a higher level with new equipment and better recording facilities.  The collection of tracks was growing and he made demo tapes which were distributed to local record stores and friends.

Old Pants Publishing out of Colorado Springs, heard one of the demo tapes which lead to a three CD, 15 song contract for Tech-T.  Upon signing this contract, the first E.P. Roll with It was born.  Tech-T single handedly went door to door with the CD setting up consignment deals with various record stores and promoting as much as possible, while simultaneously working on his second CD Satisfy Me.

The web site www.oldpants.com was created where one can find an assortment of sample songs by various artists including Tech-T.  The first CD received an impressive review (particularly his vocals) in the Music Connection magazine.   To celebrate the release of the two CDs Old Pants Publishing sponsored a CD release party by Tech-T himself.
