Performance artist tiana hux directs other artists in theatrical shows around her rap music.
Before inventing honkytonkpunkrockhiphop-burlesque, tiana made music, film and theatre in austin, tx for 10 years. This work culminated in her role as da soap opera woman in rick linkslacker's 2001 animated feature, Waking Life.
In New Orleans, she called this show MC sweet tea and da tastee hotz. The show includes elaborately costumed show girlz, B-boys, DJ's and other randoms. (Her ZZtop cover band, ZZtopless reached legendary proportions and will ride again.) These freaks went international and you don't stop.
She relocated to LA after hurricane katrina and performed as MC tiana hux with the fingered dancers. She is currently writing her second full length album, first screenplay and a TV show. and when she isn't performing rap music, she works in hollywood as a spy and doubles as Mary Poppins for children around LA and in Texas.
Recently, she returned to Texas and lives in her beautiful farmhouse with her dogs, Roger and Pris.
Back in Austin, MC Sweet Tea and the Allysons are performing for fun.
