About

Tika Simone lives up to her name -- as an artist, she's a compound of the exotic and familiar, the extraordinary and the timeless. This contrast is equally bright in both her voice and songcraft. While Ms. Simone borrows some inspiration from the innocence, vivid melody and fun of early '90s R&B in her music, her vocals seems to flow from a few decades prior, carrying with it the sweetness of Patti Labelle in her prime, and the power of vintage Aretha (if she wants to take it there). Simone, whose music is also informed by the events of a dramatic adolescence spent between Toronto and Jamaica is a classically-trained pianist (at the Etobicoke School of The Arts) with hundreds of original compositions in her mental Rolodex. She also has a charismatic presence and a wicked sense of humour, one which threatens to distract from her total-package artistry. And it already has. Simone can be caught frequently as a regular on MTV’s The Hills Aftershow. Part of her appeal is her truth, and that includes calling out the lameness of much soul music on the radio, even in her immediate environment. Whack singers, beware. Simone has a busy year ahead. Progressing from her work as a studio singer in New York City, the singer/songwriter is off to Ohio, where she'll begin recording that fire with incredible, eclectic producer Larry Gates who in fact previously worked with the TrackMasters. The album that is to come is definitely expected to be a great one.

"Those who've seen her perform cannot deny her talent and promise. It's not even a question of expectations -- simply await big things from the unforgettable Ms. Tika Simone."
