Maestro Taki Hendrix , The Queen of All Tracks

Taki Hendrix was born in Memphis Tennessee, a city known as the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock N Roll. Just as Memphis deep-seeded musical roots influenced many other major music icons from this city, Taki is no exception. She was born to a gospel pianist taught by legendary gospel artist Jessie Mae Shirley. Taki was doing many things very early as a child, such as talking, reading and counting, so her mother taught her to play the piano at the very young age of two. Taki considers her musical talents to be a natural gift, and proudly tells others with great confidence, I was born a musician. And proclaims that there is nothing musically that she cannot learn do, and do just as well as someone who had done it for years. This proclamation, she proves quite easily.Possessing a cutting edge style and eclectic taste that is certainly evident in her music, Taki always seeks to find other artists who are on her level to collaborate with.The development of her musical sound by experimenting with the cross-pollination of musical genres continues to be what keeps her moving to the top of her abilities. Taki's versatility is her lifes driving force, and she will continue to explore all there is to discover so long as there is anything left that she has not touched. ~"You and anyone else who listens to my music can hear my passion, my pain, my love, my fear, my happiness, my anger, my attitude, my frustration, my truth, my honor..."- Excerpt from the Declaration of Taki Hendrix 2005
