“Five Minutes With” Toronto-Based Artist Tasha Angela

Toronto based artist, Tasha Angela, is a talented singer/songwriter/pianist/composer who stole our attention at Jessie Reyez’ songwriting camp in early 2019. Awe struck with her tone and melodies we’ve sunk into the writing and have come to love the seeming innocence that belies a maturity beyond her years.

Introduced to Dan Kurtz (Dragonette & The New Deal) and his studio, The Asylum, in the spring of 2019 – Tasha found a home that was both comfortable and supportive. It was at The Asylum that she began working and recording the majority of her “Hidden Gems EP” in earnest with producer/arranger Sam “Avenue” Willows (Carousel, Dragonette, Tokyo Police Club). This body of work also includes one single “Up To You” – which was produced by Juno Award winner, Rich Kidd at the Jessie Reyez writing camp. All the songs were then mixed by Howie Beck (Feist, Dragonette, Charlotte Day Wilson, etc. ).

Tasha Angela is a Honey Jam 2017 alumni and has performed on a few other stages in Toronto including showcases with Talent Nation and with Second Nature Group. With that said, Tasha is still very much an emerging artist. We think she’s really special.
