  • Recording Rap Artist BKA Takari on new singles

    Recording Rap Artist BKA Takari on new singles
    Dec 9 2021
    His legal name is Jarod Takari Mason but go by BKA Takari. He came up with the name one day just on some humbug. BKA came up and Takari is my middle name, hence the alias BKA Takari was born and raised in Hampton, VA on December 5, 1993.

    “What influenced BKA ?” His brother. Growing up always looked up to him. BKA wanted to be just like him. Would always sit and listen to him rap in ciphers with his friends and watch him write music and rehearse took a liking to artists such as Jada Kiss, Beanie Seagal, BIG, and a few others.

    BKA started taking music seriously in 2019 when he came home from prison. BKA wrote a lot of music while he was on the inside. BKA moved to Georgia about two days after release. One day BKA received a DM on Facebook from the CEO, Ms. Lisa Marie, of Worldwide International Records asking me to sign with them. BKA jumped at the opportunity and to continue to write and work on perfecting his craft.

    BKA has done a plethora of shows. BKA did two in Atlanta, GA; one for Myafton and one opening for Rick Ross, and the rest in his home state, Virginia. If he had to give an estimate of how many shows done in total, BKA would have to say at least 20 and I’m looking forward to adding more to that number.

    A Journey in music with singer/songwriter artist Tanqueray Hayward
    Nov 4 2021
    A diva (/ˈdiːvə/; Italian: [ˈdiːva]) is a celebrated female singer; a woman of outstanding talent in the world of opera, and by extension in theatre, cinema and popular music. In Philadelphia, a city known for providing the world of music with knockout talent, another yet unforgettable legendary diva in the making is unquietly emerging. Tanqueray Hayward is exploding on the Philadelphia music scene and is claiming her seat at the highly coveted table.
    Born in Philadelphia, music was calling Hayward’s name from a very early age. Getting her first taste for the musical spotlight, Hayward started singing in church. Like many legendary singers before her, most notably: Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, and Aretha Franklin, the church provides the basics for soul singers when learning breath control, tone and confidence.
    Growing up and finding her voice, Hayward spent many days and nights belting out the songs from her idols, including “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”-Mary J. Blige, the pioneering gospel group, The Clark Sisters, and the iconic Whitney Houston.
    After taking a leap of faith and resigning from a medical career, Hayward’s vocal potency landed the opportunity to record background vocals for pop star Pink and open for internationally-acclaimed gospel artist Marvin Sapp in Philadelphia. In addition, Hayward has shared the stage with Carol Riddick, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Cedric Napoleon (Pieces of a Dream), Mozaic Flow, Lee Williams, and the Spiritual QC’s, The Joy Boyz, and Shawn “Coco” McMillan just to name a few!
    Hayward has enjoyed the experience of performing to sold-out crowds at renowned music venues throughout Philadelphia. Hayward’s vocal ability and stage presence are potent for all who dare to experience it without a filter.
    In May 2020 Tanqueray began work with one of the industry’s “behind the scenes” and “go-to guy” TL Shider, Producer, Musician, Arranger, and Engineer from Plainfield, NJ. From this union, Tanqueray debuted in August 2020 with the track “This Thing” which made #1 on the Urban Influencer UK Soul Chart. In September 202 the highly acclaimed “This Kind of Love” was released which propelled Tanqueray on UK Rotation making #1 on the Urban Influencer UK Soul Chart, #3 on the Global Soul Chart, #3 on the UK Soul Chart, Winner of the President’s Choice Award for Indie Soul Café Radio in New York in November 2020, Winner of Soul Tracks “New Artist of the Year” in December 2020 and nominated for “Best International Artist” for UK’s Bright Star Awards in December 2020. Tanqueray’s debut album “Definition of the Woman” will be released in March 2021. The lead single “Caught Up” is currently #1 for the third week in a row on the Urban Influencer UK RnB and Soul Chart, and Radio Experts UK RnB Soul Chart, #3 on the UK Global Soul Chart, and #12 on the UK Soul Chart.
    With Hayward serving in the United States Navy, she learned valuable life lessons of self-discipline and an incredible work ethic which has naturally flowed over to her rising music career. As her fan base continues to grow, Hayward has her eyes set on the big picture.
    Tanqueray Hayward’s artistic impact and contribution to the musical landscape of Philadelphia are now becoming undeniable. Hayward is working tirelessly to prove herself worthy to be mentioned in the company mentioned above. Stay tuned!
