Tia Simone Jazz Singer from Los Angeles, CA

Tia Simone is a vocalist proficient in several musical styles including Jazz, Scat Singing, Blues, R&B, Gospel, Rock, Neo-Soul, Pop and Musical Theater. Versatile performances emphasize a high level of artistic excellence and captivate the audience's imagination and emotions. Tia Simone was born and raised in Michigan, where she developed her passion for music at a very early age. Her mother overheard her humming the entire Happy Birthday song without missing a note or a beat at 16 months—before she could even speak! Tia's mother recognized her musical talent early and influenced her to listen to artists from many different genres while growing up, including Mozart, The Temptations, The Beatles, and James Brown. Tia's only vocal training in her early years was in choir at the Episcopal Church, where she was an active participant. This choir introduced her to classical music. Tia was exposed further to classical music at Michigan State University when she was accepted to the Classical Performance Program. This program was an essential step in Tia's journey to fulfill her passions in music because it made her realize that her true love lies in jazz, blues and soul. With her new found desire, Tia packed her things, including her cat, and moved to California in 2004. Tia's hope in California was to connect with amazing and creative musicians like her. Currently Tia resides in Hollywood where she can be heard singing at various clubs and venues. Crowds at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica, On the Rocks in Long Beach and Mbar in Hollywood have had the pleasure of experiencing her "sultry sound" and "high-energy" performances. When asked about her love of performing, Tia says, "I live for singing and performing! God has blessed me with this gift and I cannot take it for granted. One day I would love to be able to sing in front of 50,000 people and for them to want to listen to and appreciate my talent. Until then, as long as one person hears me everyday, I will be happy for the rest of my life! Love life, live love!"
