About Me

Tasha is a 24 year old singer/ songwriter from Amsterdam. Growing up, her home was filt with all types of music played by her Dutch mom and Surinam dad. With a grandfather a well known musician in Suriname and The Netherlands and other mucians in her family, she is next in line to make music!As a little girl, shy, adventuress and so curious what the world had to over, performing was an usual thing for her. Birthdaypartys, weddings, schoolplays it didn't matter, that was her moment to entertain by singing and dancing. When she was able to write, there was no holding back. Creating her own poetry & lyrics and singing her own songs, she knew a singer is what she wanted to become.During the years she joined a choir and several singinggroups. She performed at jazzclubs, festivals, jamsessions and has done many projects in Amsterdam. She is also an actress and combined her singing and acting in plays. That was a new experience cause this was an other type of performing. She realised that was the part she missed besides singing, writing and dancing and liking it so much she ended up giving dramaworkshops to kids at schools along Amsterdam. The singing, dancing, writing and acting was all part of her teaching method to connect with the kids and make them aware of all creativity they have inside!Love & Life is what stimulates Tasha to write and sing. Her music is a combination of Soultunes, jazzy storylines and a funky powervoice. Music her way of communicating about what's on her mind!Love Life...
