Connor Dolan (born October 23, 1995), better known by his stage name 'The TS17 ProJekt', is an experimental IDM & Hip-Hop producer and rapper from Thornaby-On-Tees, a small town in the U.K on the out skirts of Middleborough.

The TS17 ProJekt has released 4 home-recorded Hip-Hop mix tapes, 'Shall' We Begin? (2011), 'Anomalistics' (2011), 'This Is The Plan' (2012) & 'The Original Soundtrack' (2012) and is currently producing a mixed-genre album from his home studio, due for release late 2014.

How ever, he withdrew the downloads for each of these mix tapes from the web a year later after developing himself as a musician. After over a year rethinking his stance in the scene and developing a recognizable style & sound that fans could recognize and appreciate, he began to release music once again. Within this year, he developed a sound unlike anything else heard in the urban music scene to date. Critics from a local music magazine described it as 'an emotional, complex & intelligent, yet simplistic and easily heard blend of modern IDM and Hip-Hop'.

Previews of his newly accomplished style were released upon Soundcloud & Youtube in late 2013, these pieces were described as 'almost otherworldy' by independent critics worldwide.

Listeners accused the young producer of 'copying' the style from other larger Electronic & IDM producers and rappers such as 'Flying Lotus' & 'Tyler, The Creator'. However, in response to these claims, The TS17 ProJekt said...

"Tyler, The Creator? Who the f*** is Tyler, The Creator?". This unintentionally blew his career into the next stage.
