“I know why the caged bird sings…”

Art is free, limitless, and emotionally driven when expressed from the heart. Unfortunately, when attached to the pursuit of money or material gain, it becomes baseless and watered down. So in an era where we struggle to distinguish real from temporary artists, music as an art form is affected as well. For the Boston born singer/songwriter Tania, every song that she creates comes from real thoughts and emotions that are as boundless as the world she shares her music with. For every feeling she conveys, there exists an endless amount of styles and genres in her repertoire.

With her Cape Verdean and Senegalese background, a large part of Tania’s musical versatility is due to her upbringing. Whether pouring out her heart on an R&B ballad or seducing male fans in Creole, Tania’s vocal ability and talent are unmatched. Along with emotions from various personal instances, her lyrical content appeals to anyone regardless of age, gender, etc. "Music is the one thing that hasn't let me down," says Tania. “I share my pain and happiness and confusion and excitement in hopes that others just ‘get it.’” Her music is honest, blunt, and straight from the heart. Every lyric is written through trial & error, passion and experience. Real life art, from a real life artist.

As a fan of 90s Soul and R&B, Tania’s musical influences consist of legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Brandy. So it only makes sense that her music captures the feel of an era where listeners were able to identify with every word and emotion from their favorite singers. “I’ve cried while writing and recording songs because it’s a form of therapy for me,” explains Tania. “Nothing better than listening to a song I’ve written and then saying to myself, ‘yo, this is my life.’” No topic or experience is off limits for Tania, so putting everything on the table makes her music raw, real, and authentic.

Receiving acclaim on not only a national, but also international level, Tania has performed at multiple landmark venues from the Boston metropolitan area, to other parts of the country and beyond. She has also headlined such events as the Sao Filipe Music Festival in Cape Verde, sang the national anthem for the Boston Celtics, and has even opened for and been praised by such music legends as Johnny Mathis and Bill Withers.   ….In other words, Tania is slowly being regarded as one of the top rising talents in the industry.

Tricia Reed: Born To The Stage


 Tricia Reed was born Latricia Lyn Rucker in Harrisburg, PA, and moved to Little Rock, AR as a child when her Air Force father was reassigned there. She began her singing career at the age of four, performing with the well-known gospel group the Scott White Family, which at the time was the largest gospel singing family in U.S. and well-known up and down the east coast and in the south. 

 A multi-faceted performer, Tricia says she was inspired musically by such R&B and Gospel artists as Fred Hammond, Karen Clark-Sheard, Yolanda Adams, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, and Kelly Price, but credits Michael Jackson with really opening her eyes to pop music at an early age. Years later Beyonce became a major influence on Tricia’s singing style and stage presence, and she credits the superstar with helping her craft her own authentic, unique abilities.
