You know that one friend who floats through life with a beaming smile, doesn’t sweat the small stuff, and uplifts you whenever you need it? That’s Tai’Aysha. A free spirit in the truest sense, the Boston-born and Miami-based Dominican-Cambodian singer, songwriter, and dancer radiates confidence, speaks without filter, and might just brighten your day. Her music moves through R&B, pop, bachata, merengue, reggae, and hip-hop moods with a nimble and natural elasticity tailormade for the dancefloor. Tai’Aysha started dancing almost as soon as she could walk. Growing up, she lit up every room she walked into and started modeling post-high school. In between a day job at a flower shop, her dance videos gained traction as she built an audience of hundreds of thousands on Instagram and local buzz from her home city. Seeing the bubbling local excitement around Tai’Aysha, Icon Music Group founder Steve Morales [Enrique Iglesias, Céline Dion, Beyoncé] felt prompted to reach out. He recognized her talent as a dancer and believed it indicated a certain “tone” as a vocalist. Turns out, he was very right. After one Miami session, he signed her to Icon Music Group and recorded with her at a prolific pace. Inspired by Lauryn Hill, Rihanna, and Sade, she cultivated a simmering, seductive, and scorching signature style of her own. Now, she introduces herself on a series of 2022 singles led by “One Night Ting” [feat. Saweetie].
