Taya Marquis

Taya Marquis is a singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur with a fierce, ambitious fire. Taya’s music is a fusion of pop, R&B, hip-hip and world sounds topped by silky, rich vocals. She's opened for Tinashe and Taylor McFerrin, co-wrote with Ke$ha, and has been blessed with in-studio mentorship sessions by Young Guru, Jay Z's engineer. Taya’s Factor-funded EP, i’mperfect, uncovers the process of finding oneself, and is both an honest reflection on where she’s currently at in her life, as well as an embrace of our interconnectedness as humans. The first single off i'mperfect, "Be Who U Are" received 170K plays on Spotify. She uses her music as an avenue for mental health advocacy, and enforces messages of self-discovery and #positiviTAY in her songwriting. "When the whole world is screaming at you to be a certain way, it can be nearly impossible to stay true to that soft little voice telling you to follow your truth. Well, it’s time I listen to that voice, and give it a microphone."
