Tiana Major9

Words: Al Horner

Tiana Major9's musical touchstones are a true melting pot: jazz, hip hop, RnB, gospel, garage and more. It's neo-soul that dominates her sound though, and her music is powerful, passionate, full of live instrumentation and with soaring vocal harmonies.

Try the Fugees-esque Levee (Let It Break), with its orchestral strings and smooth piano, and try not to be bowled over.

Thing to know: Her dream collaborator is the elusive D’Angelo. "I love him and respect his music so much," Tiana has said. "I genuinely believe we could make a masterpiece."
