    Everyone who makes music because they LOVE it, & not because they love what music can give to them..Everyone who willingly falls into submission to music's power and force.. Those who create music from the truest essence within themselves, and desire no reward in return, except to uplift and beautifully impact humanity through the language of music.

We all strive to be like the phoenix.. the legendary bird in antiquity that symbolizes immortality, rebirth, and resilience; for after its consumption into a fire, it reemerges more powerful, stronger and beautiful than ever before. As a lyrically astute emcee, classically trained pianist, producer, songwriter, & composer, Tiye clearly employs "the phoenix principle" in her music by challenging the barriers placed upon female hip-hop artists.

Tiye (renamed after the pharoahess in the 18th Dynasty in ancient Egypt, mother of King Tut) began playing the piano by ear as a child, and then studied classical piano between ages 7 and 13. Equally in love with poetry, Tiye evolved into a clever, skilled emcee through the years. In the late 90s, Tiye formed S.O.U.L.

If you can, catch a Tiye Phoenix performance where you'll undoubtedly see and feel raw hip-hop at its height; whether she's spewing an inferno of rhymes or playing keys, she's sure to give audiences more than just a "show"- she provides an artistic experience.

Tiye is currently working with a variety of artists and producers on a myriad of upcoming projects.

Ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology legacies state that there can only exist one phoenix at a time; similarly, in music, there can only be one Tiye Phoenix.
