While working at Blockbuster, aspiring R&B singer Tyra B got a tremendous confidence boost when some local fans shopping for DVD’s had seen her perform locally a couple of times. “They came up to me and were like, ‘What are you doing here?’” the Virginia native recalls with a laugh. “I looked down at my uniform and was like, ‘What do you mean? I’m working.’ The man was like, ‘You’re not going to be here long. You’re too talented. You’re going to make it big one day.’”
The conversation turned out to be a prescient one, as Tyra B was soon signed to GG&L Music (now known as Sphinx Music Entertainment/Warner Bros. Records). Now, Tyra’s tireless work as a singer, writer, dancer and all-around entertainer is ready for a national stage. “She’s like Janet in her prime mixed with Aaliyah,” says producer Bradd Young. Young and Pretty Boy, of NYLA Productions, produced the majority of Tyra B’s remarkable debut album, Past Due. “She can write, perform, sing,” Young adds. “She’s a triple threat talent.”
Tyra B, whose album title reflects her dedication to her craft, has been developing and perfecting her immense, wide-ranging talent since elementary school. That’s when she started entering talent shows and became determined to become an entertainer. Singers were cool. Dancers were great. But she looked up to the total packages, entertainers like Usher and Michael Jackson.
