Hailing from Inglewood, CA, Tia P. is an extraordinary and multi-talented artist whose skills include rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, producer, and drummer. She is a charismatic artist with an impressive and enviable list of accomplishments that showcase her talents. She first became widely known to the public when she was on BET’s The Next Big Thing. Since
then, her music has been heard all over hit tv shows such as Shameless, Empire, Grown-ish, Charmed, Cobra Kai, Black Lady Sketch Show, and many more. Her music has also been used in a myriad of commercials for Pepsi, Sprite, Hyundai, and more. Her recent collaboration with five-time Grammy winner Brittany Howard (lead singer/guitarist, Alabama Shakes) for the LAbased Angel City Football Club resulted in the single “Running with The Angels” and is the first original anthem for a U.S. women’s
professional sports team. She is currently working on
a new album and also songs for the upcoming Warner Bros. Barbie movie.

Tia P’s winning song “That Action” is emblematic of her drive as an artist and takes her cue from a director’s call: Lights, Camera, Action - meaning don’t slow down until they yell CUT. Clearly this inspires the ways she creates music and live her life.
