Tamia

Before she'd cut an album of her own, Tamia had already worked with Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan, a feat that many charted artists haven't pulled off. The exposure paid off in the end, and the trembling-voiced, extremely photogenic Tamia has not only seen her hip-hop flavored R&B songs make the rounds on radio, she's become a darling of the VJs as well.
