Sounds Like One of a kind. Can sing, write songs, rap, double time, freestyle, jam with anyone, dance, play piano, play drums (kinda) produce tunes, Surf (proper surfing, on a big board!), ride a skateboard (drop into a half pipe if its not too big), snowboard, write fiction and poetry, clean, cook (vege meals only sorry), and do a bit of gardening! Great with words, rubbish with numbers, prefer texting to phone calls, hugs to kisses (both when it comes to my b'friend) trainers to heels, tea to coffee, water to alcohol, and smiles and kind words to poison and jealousy... Ask and Believe to Achieve and Receive!

   About TALI -Winner of Best Female MC at the DnB Awards!
WORLD OF DRUM AND BASS TOUR PROMO VIDEO "The worlds number one Female Drum and Bass MC as voted for at this years DnB Awards, and undisputed First Lady of the mic!" Whassup, Kia Ora and Wah blow people!!, Im originally from a dairy farm in Taranaki, New Zealand, growing up under the shadow of a beautiful mountain and the rugged west coast, I listened to everything from Rock and New Jack Swing, to Hiphop and Folk. I discovered my love for Drum and Bass back in 1996 in Christchurch, NZ, and from there progressed within the scene, working firstly for Scientific promotions and helping host their radio show (with DJ Mosus) before eventually trying out my love of lyrics on the mic. After working hard within the scene I felt I had gone as far as I could go, and I had bigger ambitions -to become an MC in the UK, and work with my biggest influences -The Full Cycle crew..but first stop was Australia. Fate brought Full Cycle and me together, and while at an after show party for Reprazent in Melbourne in 2001 I finally met my heroes, Roni Size and DJ Krust. I bust some lyrics in Ronis ear, and impressed, he invited me to the UK to work with them. Long story short, three months later I was on a plane, and ended up living and working in Bristol, writing and recording my first solo album ’Lyric on my Lip’ with production from Roni, Krust, DJ Die, Clipz and featured vocals from Dynamite MC. I toured with my own live band, wrote and featured on many a Full Cycle release (including Size’s ’Return to V’ and Clipz’s ’Living Drumz’ albums) and after four years, moved to London in 2005. Since then I have released a limited edition compliation CD featuring my love of Hiphop and Soul -wth production largely from the brilliant First Man productions, and features from Dynamite MC, Blak Twang, Sincere and Mr Ti2bs.(’DO IT FOR YOURSELF’ LIMITED EDITION CD - avaliable to buy via ITunes, www.amplifier.co.nz www.awal.co.uk and from ’SistaRay’ record store in London UK) I have rediscovered my passion for Drum and Bass and are currently working on an EP for Hype and Pascals label ’Playaz’, As well as this I have guested on several DnB tunes and albums this year including The Ez Rollers album, ’Conductor’, the forthcoming Subfocus album on Ram recordings, hosted the forthcoming ’Deep Sound LP’ mixed by SS and Influx UK and have recently released a single from ’The Jungle Story’ LP on Easy/Sativa Records, (telling my story of how I came to be the UKs First Lady). My passion for music is not limited to Hiphop and DnB however, and I have recently been working with Cntrl -Z and Screwface on their forthcoming Breaks LP, and will be working with the Equalizers in the near Future. I recently joined the ’Queens of the Jungle’ Collective featuring DJ Shortee, Reid Speed and myself, an all female, American based, DnB collective - gaining fast popularity around the world for our unique setup and performance. I both Sing and MC, song write for other people, can work my way around Protools and Reason, are classically trained in Singing and Piano, and have a BA in English Literature, a Diploma in Performing Arts, and a Diploma in Secondary school teaching. But truth be told, the only thing I ever really gave a f**k about was smashing it up on the mic.
