About me
I chose my artist name as I was about to perform for the first time in 2000 with my former band Bluwheel. We needed stage names to introduce ourselves while jaming and I chose mine out of the Indian Tikka symbol I was wearing on my forehead that night. And I kept it ever since.
In 2008, I recorded my Sellaband album thanks to you all and it is going to be released in the summer 2008.

This is one of these albums which gets better and better with every time listening to it. A collection of wonderful jazz and pop songs. What keeps the whole album together is T-ka's excellent vocals. A must-have for every music-lover! |

Miss T-Ka does wonderful arranged jazzy popsongs. It is great that the CD is ready of the first Sellaband ambassador of this genre. In my humble opinion one of the best albums made with the help of fans all over the world. Release of the CD in France is planned at October 27th. |

'T-ka - And Maybe A Tree Will Rise Out Of Me It’s worth remembering at a time like this, that 50K, despite being a considerable amount of dosh, is not that much money when it comes to producing a timeless, and perfectly polished CD. In T-Ka’s case, she also had to hire a variety of musicians to help her create ‘And Maybe A Tree Will Rise Out Me’- so I’m delighted to report that the album is one of the finest and perfected of the 50K CD’s so far. On a production outlook, the songs are flawless. Every single instrument is at perfect volume, tempo and much more- each part of the melodies can be heard easily, and the mixture of vocals and music is not overpowering nor underplayed, a perfect production, so top marks to Sylvia Massy and co. Furthermore, the artwork, adds even more to this amazing release. A selection of stunning photographs, awesome sceneries and topped off by a beautiful addition of lyrics written by T-Ka, and accompanying the songs on offer. What may be an unimportant part to some, is certainly a fundamental element to others- so it’s great to see that T-Ka has taken so much time in producing top quality artwork as well as music. The album opens with the funky and catchy ‘And Maybe A Tree Will Rise Out Of Me’- a song which has a beautiful lyrical content, as we discover more about T-Ka as a person, as well as a musician. The song concludes with an acapella segment, which effectively works in bringing a smile to your face. Interestingly, the song, despite being about death, stands out amongst a small portion of true ‘feel good’ tracks highlighted by the way T-Ka sings and the upbeat musicianship, whom are responsible for injecting a fresh dose of positivity to this great track. The second track ‘5 In The Morning’ finishes where the previous track left off. As is fundamental in T-Ka‘s music, the song takes funk to a new level, with a poppy element now included within the music. Although not a standout track for me personally, the song is very well written and expertly produced, so major kudos once again. T-Ka’s signature track ‘Flyin’, a song partly responsible for her rise to 50K follows, taking the tempo to a more soothing pace. A song that relies mainly on T-Ka’s soulful vocal talents and a stunning piano lead, it is one of the albums finest moments. Truly stunning and utterly flawless, it can be surely named as an album highlight. However, my personal favourite follows, taking the album, this time to a midpaced tempo- another passion filled emotive ballad ensues. ‘On The Other Side Of The Ocean’ is an alternating jazzy, and occasionally brooding piece of art that really takes T-Ka to emotive peaks. Her passonate voice, and interesting vocal harmonies make this composition one of the strongest on the CD. Catchy, yet still interesting after numerous listens. ‘Will You’ follows swiftly, beginning reminiscently of fellow Sellaband artist Solidtube, but soon evolving into the jazzy soulful sounds we come to expect. The song is this time a lot punchier and with another stunning chorus- something that T-Ka produces in mass quantity, it seems. Although not instantly accessible, the songs treasures lie within a few listens, and a few more chances to get the clever melody into your head. A stunning guitar solo is a highlight within ‘Muszic’. A very serene and soothing track, following from the rocky and jazzy ‘Will You’. It brings the tempo down once more, allowing the listener to relax, and providing a perfect soundtrack to do so. The song itself is not without its merits either, lyrically- it is emotive and touching, and with a close listen, its evident once more what a superb job Sylvia did in allowing every instrument to be heard. Jazz has never been as prominent however as on ’Dolores’. The gorgeous and upbeat song, has an alternating melody, with a double teamed chorus, both stunningly conveyed. The song is interesting and manages to stand unique due to its defiance from following the usual formula of one verse, one chorus, etc. A great addition to the album, it’ll certainly be another song which sticks into your head for sometime. Another of T-Ka’s signature tracks, and this time a highly accessible foray into Jamie Cullum styled jazz pop- ‘Midnight City’ possesses the perfect formula for a hit single- catchy chorus, great verses and an all round dose of massive talent. Not much else can be said about the track, except that it is another of T-Ka’s finest moments, and a great, timeless track as well as firm fan favourite. The surprises don’t end quite yet though, as the penultimate track ‘I Will Never Replace’ proves, this time with a journey into pure piano. Hinting back at ‘Flyin’, musically the song is quite familiar, with vocals and piano being prominent, however, this track takes emotion into account as another key aspect. The touching words sang, mix delightfully with the perfected instrumentation, and is possibly ‘And Maybe A Tree Will Rise Out Of Me’s lyrical peak. The final shock however is the unexpected induction of Ambytionz Chyldren in the final track ‘Terror’. As the title hints, the song has an uncomfortable atmosphere, and a spooky melody that works extremely well with the guest male vocals. The chorus of the track is a great highlight from the album, with its multilayered vocals following the interplay of male and female voice. What is also a vital element is the gorgeous string arrangements that ensue as the song draws to a close. Beginning on a high, and ending even higher- the song is the perfect conclusion to a surprising, but true piece of art that delivers in every way possible. So, whilst I retain that 50K isn’t that much money, I also declare that wonders can be done with the funds, and T-Ka has certainly set the standard with this professional and stunningly emotive album- one that will definitely take T-Ka and her career to new highs in the music industry. Standout Tracks: On The Other Side Of The Ocean, Midnight City, Terror.' |

Soulful and sensuous diva with a sense of humour to boot. She was one of my two favourite performers at Sellabration 08 - great voice, lovely smile and clearly very much at ease on stage. The album isn't half bad, either. |
