TIKA is a multi-disciplinary artist, singer, academy award-winning songwriter, film composer, actress, artistic director, educator, voiceover artist, cultural curator, and energy healer. TIKA makes a lasting impression on everyone she encounters and is a strong advocate for female & LGTBQIA+ musicians, artists and creatives. TIKA added film scoring to her repertoire in 2019 after going to the Canadian Film Centre in 2021. To date she has scored 8 short films, 4 cartoon series, 4 feature films and is the 2022 Canadian Academy Award Winner for best original song in the film “Learn To Swim.”

As a singer, TIKA has opened for major R&B heavyweights like John Legend + NAO and is listed by Complex Magazine as “One of the most prolific creatives in Toronto.” TIKA’s debut album was released in Spring of 2021. Aptly titled “Anywhere But Here,” it serves as a brilliant indication of her unique voice, as well as her distinctive resonance and personality as a developed artist, with many critics internationally hailing “Anywhere But Here” as one of the most powerful releases of 2021. In addition, TIKA was the only Canadian musician to model for Sephora 2 years in a row. Her billboards can be seen all across Canada.

While her vocation as an ambassador and creator of music has been well established, her image and sound as a new artist is being unleashed to make a very durable impression in order to gracefully provide what this generation has been missing musically. 2023 will see the relaunch of the artistic and healing side of TIKA and will also see her releasing her sophomore album, “All About Love.”
