Born in Winston-Salem, Tia grew up in a multicultural household. Her father, Japanese and African American, and her mother, Shoshone, Indian, exposed her to a diverse range of music beginning at the age of 4. Her father would play hip hop’s elite artists ranging from the old to the new school and her mother would play the greatest hits from pop and rock. Thus, Tia’s unique music style was born in the fourth grade.

Tia released her single “Lotto” in 2021. This caught the attention of local radio stations, DJs, clubs, and started growing on the internet, which spread her name across the U.S. Tia has already released 3 albums since 2020. This is only the beginning for the young artist as the best is yet to be seen.
