British Jamaican songstress Tiana Major9 grew up surrounded by music in East London. The twenty-year-old was exposed to everything from gospel to garage in her youth, and got the itch for performance by singing at her local church. In her early teens, she focused as much of her time on singing as possible and began taking performance art classes. Tiana developed a fascination with jazz in this time, a unique obsession for a girl of her age. Testing her songwriting chops from a young age, she cites her love for the freedom she experiences from jazz in general.

In 2014 Tiana Major9 (still a teenager) came second in the MOBO Unsung nationwide songwriting competition. She also performed on BBC 1Xtra’s Home-Grown with DJ Target while still in school. Her budding career went from strength to strength, securing support slots on both Alexandra Burke and Ella Eyre tours. She’s an undeniably talented songwriter and the way she weaves her intricate and impressive rap skills into what would be soulful R&B-meets-jazz jam sessions is nothing short of staggering.
