| Bio of the Artist |
Tan'yika
Aretha Franklin is the Queen of "It;" Mary J. Blige brought the essence of hip-hop to "It" and established her own Queendom; to put it simply, some artists have "It" and some artist don't. The aforementioned "It" is what the music industry defines as soul. New York born artist, Tan'yika not only embodies the word soul, but she is also on a relentless mission to redefine its meaning. Often described as a strong, deeply felt emotion conveyed by a speaker, a performer, or an artist, soul is what sets apart the music that is heard and the music that is felt. With her critically acclaimed debut album, "Theory of Love," Tan'yika is successfully showcasing her skills as a singer, songwriter, and dancer, while simultaneously captivating listeners, audiences, and followers worldwide with her soulful approach to not only music, but also to her life.
Life for Tan'yika began in the boroughs of New York with a loving mother and amazing stepfather that cultivated her talents from the beginning. Although she played a significant role in the family business, working at several of their family-owned bakeries, baking cakes was only one of her many gifts. With only two cousins that have musical talents, Tan'yika was not a child that was born into a musical family. Instead she felt that the music and the arts in general spoke to her in a way that only she could understand. At the early age of 7 years old, Tan'yika had already written her first song. As she moved between The Heights, Jersey, and the Bronx, her writing would begin to mimic the various experiences she had in these different locations. As her experiences matured, so would her writing, singing, and even her dancing developing her into a full-fledge entertainer.
Tan'yika's talents would later catch the eye of super-producer, Lord Itill and together they would go on to create her first album, "Theory of Love." Under the direction of LIBB Productions, which is Lord Itill's production company, Tan'yika would compose a masterful project, which contains all the elements of song, emotion, and life capturing the very essence of her soul. With songs like the romantic banger, "Lost of Attraction" and the eloquent seductiveness of "Romantic Theory," Tan'yika has captivated the jazzed- out audiences at the Sugar Bar to the upscale urban-elite at Club NyChe. Following in the footsteps of some of her idols and predecessors, Tan'yika dances with the passion and precision of Janet Jackson; her voice resonates powerfully like Chaka Khan; she epitomizes the class and sophistication of Billie Holiday; and she brings that NY swag like Alicia Keys. She perfectly blends the past, present, and future of music while simultaneously establishing her own dominance in the industry.
Although the "Theory of Love" has brought Tan'yika notoriety, respect, awards, and a bit of fame, she is not the type of artist that is satisfied with any level of success. In her own words, she so eloquently stated, " I want people to know that life is always about progression and I'm always progressing as an artist and as a person." It is that approach to life and music that has led this soulful princess to not only begin work on her second album, but to also begin to work on third album as well. In the midst of creating two albums, Tan'yika still finds the time to tour, write, and amazingly still spend a little time helping out with the family business. She may have grown up heating up ovens and watching her cakes rise, but now she is heating up stadiums and palladiums worldwide and watching her music rise to the top of the charts. As stated earlier, some artists have "It" and some artist don't. Tan'yika not only has "It," but she is "It." She is soul.

L.I.B.B. was born and cultivated in the Bronx, NY under the guidance of Lord Itill and Big Bear. This production team has been creating and recording quality music collectively since 2001 but as separate entities as early as 1990. L.I.B.B. is building a strong presence in Hip Hop and RnB but are capable of producing any style of music. It is evident in their current and past projects that the awesome two is versatile and are able to set trends in a world where copy cat is the format.
The combined style of the L.I.B.B. duo are fused together to make what can only be described as a balance of the classic gritty and contemporary bouncy Hip Hop. The pair have written so many tracks over the last few years but as the grind masters that they are, they're planning to bang out more. Eventually, they will connect with many other artists to extend the Brand name. Plans for videos to complement the tracks will be underway with young filmmakers to complete the vision of the L.I.B.B. sound. Several of the artists they've worked with already have videos that are playing both over the internet on youtube.com as well as community cable television. Their artists have headlined and performed throughout various venues in NYC including the infamous S.O.B.'s and The Knitting Factory.
Online commerce is the future and L.I.B.Bs fan base continues to grow as is evident by the total number of sales to date 3000 downloads from all three of their releases which are available on iTunes and CD Baby: LIBB PRODUCTIONS : Vol. 1, LIBB VOLUME 2: Get Your Hand Out My Pocket and L.I.B.B. PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS VOL. 3: BUSINESS, BULLSH*T & GOOD TIMES. VOLUME 3 is their most diverse release to date. The album contains 20 tracks of clever rhymes and flavored melodies over their original brand of classic Hip Hop and RnB production. It is clear that they are independently attempting to cement themselves within the minds of music fans worldwide and they continue to build with each new release.
