GET 2 KNOW TARSHA JACKSON

2010-09-15T12:27:00.006-04:00

Born & raised in the city of Richmond Va., this songstress definitely knows the meaning of “the struggle”. Overcoming many obstacles in her life, she’s determined to set the example that being a product of an abusive family and a teenage mother does not have to stop any one from pursuing their dreams.

Tarsha started her venture to record her first demo back in 2005. She really had no clue how to get started as far as any producers or engineers to work with, how to go about things, not to mention very little knowledge of the music industry. Only a passion to make music that could be seen from a mile away and a mindset to get her sound heard. She was finally placed in the right direction to get started and has learned so much along the way.

Now, she is here to provide you with an original sound, original production and an extremely diverse style, from R&B to Hip Hop to Neo Soul, Cross-over or Pop, Tarsha refuses to limit herself to just one genre of music, but will surely set a new standard for many music genres to follow.

You will find that Tarsha possesses keen songwriting skills where her lyrics not only have true meaning but also carry melodies that will make you immediately want to pay close attention to.

Tarsha considers her music style to be somewhat unique & mystic, but at the same time very relate-able to many different audiences. Priding herself on her songwriting skills this vocalist also carries the flexibility to float from a singing to rhyming style. This is made evident with such songs like “Checkin Up On Me” & “Wish I Was Your Girlfriend”.

Tarsha believes that being the writer of all of her own material makes her music more of her own. With Tarsha writing, singing & performing her own songs you can really feel her passion for life and what she does. You also get to know her a bit through her music.

By her late teens Tarsha was scouted by a representative of John Casablanca’s Model/Talent Agency/School where she soon became a student. Here she learned all about the modeling industry and worked various model jobs to pay for her schooling. Tarsha has appeared in various magazines such as "Sophisticates" and several Braids & Beauty magazines and has worked with world re known photographers like Mr. Eric Vonlockhart in New York City and interviewed with a top agency in Atlanta called About Faces Model & Talent. Tarsha could also be seen strutting her natural catwalk down the runway at venues mostly in the DMV area.

Tarsha has been not only the voice & creator of her work but her own boss as well. She manages her own music including booking venues, promotion, demo production and distribution, graphic designing, cd duplication, copyrights, ACSAP etc. With all this Tarsha still manages to give her heart & soul at each performance and gives her all in writing and singing her music. She proves to be a songstress on her game & about her business.

Tarsha continues her education and training in music where she strives to utilize her vocal skills to the fullest. She continues to work with persons who challenge her to be the best vocalist she can and to perfect her craft which is making music from her heart.

According to Tarsha, this is a non-stop learning process and she believes any good artist should always continue to grow.

Tarsha Jackson's latest project is a mixtape that will be hitting the streets 9/20/10
