Raised in a musical family, Tasha’s sound is influenced by legends like Billie Holiday, EW&F, Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, and Quincy Jones. In 2001, she released her self-titled album in Japan through Avex, followed by a European release in 2002 via Dome Records. The album received widespread acclaim and was celebrated as one of the best albums of the year, earning recognition as "one of the best albums to ever come out of the Netherlands." Tasha has received several prestigious awards, including the Essent Award (2002) and the Silver Harp (2003). Her musical journey has taken her around the globe, performing at well-known venues across Europe, Africa, the U.S., and beyond.
