By the time he was five, a video of Joe Satriani had a major impact on the boy and he declared “That’s what I want to do.” At the age of eight, he has played on-stage with performers the likes of Jackson Browne and Les Paul. He appeared on the Rachel Ray show on January 21, 2009.

In 2008, Latz’s father Carl received a letter from the state of Wisconsin informing him that Tallan may not play club venues anymore, as a result of an anonymous e-mail sent to state officials complaining that he was too young to be performing in taverns and nightclubs.
His booking agent also received an anonymous letter threatening her with death should she continue booking the 8-year old guitarist.
