About Me


Tarsha Jackson markets talent in various aspects, but remains completely focused on her true passion, music.Here to provide you with an original sound, original production and an extremely diverse style from R&B to Soul and from Hip Hop to Pop, Tarsha will surely set a new standard for many music genres to follow.You will find that Tarsha possesses keen songwriting skills where her lyrics not only have true meaning but also carry melodies that will make you immediately want to pay close attention to. Tarsha considers her music style to be somewhat unique & mystic, but at the same time very relate-able to many different audiences. Priding herself on her songwriting skills this vocalist also carries the flexibility to float from a singing to rhyming style. If you were to ask Tarsha who her favorite artist is, her answer would be this “I have not one particular favorite artist. I have many. I see the uniqueness in each individual artist and appreciate them for who they are. I do not believe in ranks or judging, if I like a song, I just like it, no politics.” “My intentions are to bring to you music with originality and meaning. I only ask that you be willing to receive it. This too is what I look for in any other artist”As a child maybe age 7 or 8 Tarsha would team up with her older brother Ron and perform for her father and his guest at a moments notice. While Ron would mimic the great Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" Tarsha would sing love ballets such as Natalie Cole's "Our Love". Together they both kept their audience begging for more. Being raised in Richmond Va., Tarsha was inspired by such artist as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, New Edition, Natalie Cole, Erika Badu, Mary J Blige, Jill Scott, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Prince, Pattie Labelle, Gladys Knight, Evelyn Champagne King, Brenda K. Starr, Missy Elliot, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Keyshia Cole, Beyonce, Toni Braxton, Total, Michael Jackson, Prince, Erika Badu, Jill Scott, Teena Marie, TLC, Monica, Brandy and too many more wonderful artist to name.Throughout her youth this alto became a member of various choir groups. At age 10 she joined the "Voices of Joy" youth choir, under the direction of Ms. Eva Hurt of Cedar St Memorial Baptist Church. By age 13 Tarsha had climbed aboard an extremely powerful teen choir "Voices of Praise" AKA "VOP" under the direction of a very talented Mr. Shawn Stovall. The choir traveled to many different venues to stake their claims as the strongest teen choir in our area. When in high school Tarsha would go on to be members of the George Wythe High School Girls Advanced Choir, under the direction of Ms. Gloria Alexander and the George Wythe High School Marching Band. By her late teens Tarsha was scouted by a representative of John Casablanca’s Model/Talent Agency/School where she soon became a student. Here she learned all about the modeling industry and worked various model jobs to pay for her schooling. Tarsha has appeared in various magazines such as "Sophisticates" and several Braids & Beauty magazines. She has worked with world re known photographers like Mr. Eric Vonlockhart in New York City and interviewed with a top agency in Atlanta called About Faces Model & Talent. Tarsha could also be seen strutting her natural catwalk down the runway in venues mostly in the Washington DC area under the wing of the fashion phenomenon "Ean" with Ean Productions. Throughout the glamour and glitz of the modeling industry Tarsha continue to write music and poetry and soon began her quest to reveal the "Best Kept Secret Tarsha has performed here in Va., in an attempt to showcase her talent and build a rapport with her fans and for all her support her. Tarsha is not only the voice & creator of her work but her own boss as well. Managing her own music including booking venues, promotion, demo production and distribution, graphic designing, cd duplication, copyrights, ACSAP etc. With all this Tarsha still manages to give her heart & soul at each performance and gives her all in writing and singing her music. She proves to be a songstress on her game & about her business.As a student of TK Music Academy Tarsha continues her education and training in music where she strives to utilize her vocal skills to the fullest. Here she works with an amazingly talented vocal coach Ms. Tarnisha Keel who challenges her to be the best vocalist she can and works with her to perfect her craft which is making music from her heart.According to Tarsha, this is a non-stop learning process and she believes any good artist should always continue to grow. Tarsha gives her love to all who have believed and supported her thus far.
