Montreal-based, Toronto-grown singer-songwriter, film composer, model and curator, TiKA has been honing her craft for just under 5 years, after stepping onto a stage at the Milk River venue in Brooklyn, to cover for a singer who was running late. She sang Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U”, and the wheels of musical creation haven’t stopped since. Embracing the genre rightfully coined as “futuristic nostalgia”, TiKA draws from the legacy of Black Queer women of the 1990s: artists who she observed to have “rawness and grace in what they were saying through music”.

TiKA’s compositions offer “ethereal sounds that wrap around you, reminding you of other memories”. Her work in artistic milieus, has widened the lens on TiKA, as well. In 2018 and again in 2019, she was a featured model in Sephora campaigns across Canada. She agreed so that, as she put it, “...little chubby black girls could see themselves”.
