A NEW DAY

About Me

Lead singer, lyricist Tuac (pronounced tuck) grew up in the prime of New Yorks crack era. The son of single mother, Tuäc spent days at home alone with nothing to occupy his time but his mothers 45-inch records. The burgeoning Hip Hop Soul singer and lyricist was forced to move from Project Housing to Project Housing during his teenage years until his mother made the decision to move the family to Milwaukee.Tuac, whose influences include Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Rakim, and Black Moon, continued to record and perform in showcases during his teens until he decided to move back to Brooklyn. Tuac quickly began impressing fans with his seamless blend of lyrical skill and vocal talent at his frequent performances on the open-mic scene in New York City, where he met musician/song writer B. Satz.Originally from California's East Bay area, B. Satz moved to Brooklyn in June 2001 and has since worked as a teaching artist in NYC Public Schools and Libraries and played bass and guitar with many established and independent artists. Together they write and perform songs designed to spread light and love. LEN XIANG's EP "A NEW DAY" will be available early this summer.
