After moving to LA, Tasha was hired to sing with Usher, and was hired as a featured artist, to sing on the road with Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in their Blues Brothers Live.  Tasha was signed to Warner Chappell, as a songwriter and to Epic Records for a solo deal in 2000.  Her original music has been featured on “Men In Trees,” and "Lipstick Jungle".  Soon after she was signed to Epic Records, and later signed to RUFF Records in Germany.  Tasha was nominated by the Los Angeles Black Music awards, for Best Female R&B Performer, Best New Song, Best Blues Music Performer, Best Live Performer, and Entertainer Of The Year 2019.  She won for Best Female R&B Performer, and Best Music Performer.
