Biography

Things look up for Tasha’s World, besides her european record deal, she just has won well deservingly an Emma award for Best World Music.

Tasha, whose real name is Natascha Slagtand, comes from a musical family. She has been surrounded by music all her life, mostly jazz and soul music. She is influenced by artists such as Billy Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Curtis Mayfield and the Temptations. Tasha started out by singing Jazz only, but very soon she expanded her reportoire by singing soul music as well.

Last year the CD Tasha’s World was released in Japan, and ever since her carreer is going fantastic. It took a bit of time to find a good record company that would release the CD in Europe, but with Dome Records Tasha found the right company. Before recording this album Tasha was looking for a deal, but could not identify with the demands that record companies made. They wanted to make her something she was not comfortable with, and wanted to do her own thing. With the help of amongst others Patrick Jacobs (who is Tasha’s manager, but also the executive producer of the CD), she came up with the CD Tasha’s World

Comparisons

Tasha is often compared to Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, whom she both likes very much. However she feels that she is only compared because they share the same vocal range, and the music they make is simular, because they are from the same generation, and have the same musical inspiration. But if Tasha had become famous before Erykah people would probably compare Erykah with Tasha. The comparison does not bother Tasha at all.
