TaKia is growing beyond her songwriting into a full-fledged artist, developed by Mars Co‐op, an offshoot of Philly's legendary Hip‐Hop band, The Roots. Says the singer-songwriter, “Like so many, I always wanted to live my dream. I no longer wanted to work for someone else. I needed to conquer my fears... to allow that part of myself to die in order to live fully. I wanted to share my gift with the world”. Alongside her label mates, including Malik B of The Roots fame, D‐N‐A, and Mars Co‐op, TaKia stands strong as the First Lady of T.U.B. TaKia Voice is set to release a mixtape of original songs laced over classic hip-hop beats later in the year. In addition, TaKia is passionate about leading a life of service. She wishes to aid in ending stigmas, promoting self-love, acceptance, and tolerance. She hopes to inspire men, women, and children, drawing from her own personal experiences. Surprisingly, not only is she rooted in hip-hop and R&B, the soulful singer also draws inspiration from alternative artists such as Tori Amos, Bjork, and Fleetwood Mac to name a few. She holds a strong appreciation and respect for many genres of music. Though her melodic harmonies and sultry voice have Soul written all over it, Takia is beyond labels. “We are always in a state of expansion, allow yourself room to grow”, she states.
