Tisha Jackson (born June 11th, 1989) is an American singer, song-writer, musician, producer, and actress. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of 5, Tisha began her interest in music when she first knew she could sing. At the age of 8, Tisha was singing in the church choir. By the age of 14 Tisha began singing professionally, and to improve her voice began taking vocal lessons. While taking vocal lessons she was taught how to play the piano and guitar. At 15, Tisha began performing at local night clubs in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It was then when she was singing at a night lounge in Brooklyn, New York when she was spotted by a talent scout. The talent scout did not offer Tisha a deal on spot, but instead presented her the opportunity to record a demo with him, so they can send it to record-label executives. With her mother’s approval, Tisha agreed to record the demo as long as it would not affect her school work. Tisha then sent her demo out to all record labels in NYC, and it landed on the desk of Eventual Records Label Executive, Lino. When he heard it, he contacted Tisha immediately and wanted to meet with her. After meeting with Tisha, he offered her a record-deal on the spot, and in 2006 Tisha signed her first recording contract with Eventual Records.
Tisha released her debut album, My First Lesson:Life is too short to give up on your dreams in July of 2007. The album received mixed reviews from critics. Many citing that the music was ‘too mature for the singer’. Sales were also underwhelming due to the lack of promotion of the album. Tisha then put her music career on hold to make a decision on whether she would continue her music or go to college. Prior to graduating in the summer of 2007, Tisha received a scholarship to New York University and planned on majoring in Music at the school’s music program. Tisha thought that going to college and majoring in Music-arts would give her a better preparation for having a successful music career, but didn’t know if she could hold off for so long without releasing any new material. Tisha later passed up her scholarship offer and decided to begin writing for her second studio album.
To get her name out into the public more, Eventual Records brought up the idea of Tisha releasing mixtapes and promotion for her second studio album. Tisha agreed to the idea, knowing it would allow more people in the public to know her name. Tisha released four consexutive mixtapes from the fall of 2007 to the spring of 2008. While recording and releasing street mixtapes, Tisha also was writing and recording for her second studio album, “My Desire 4 Control”. The album was released at the top of 2008 and spawned Tisha’s first Top 10 single, “So Dumb” featuring Daphne Aguilera. The album also proved to be a success receiving favoring reviews from critics, and selling over 1 million copies. Tisha then began writing and recording for her third studio album, ‘Tisha’. This time Tisha enlisted label-mates, and close friends, GirlSpice, to her produce and write for the album. The album scored the Top 20 hit ‘Mr.Heartbreaker’, featuring GirlSpice. The album proved to be another success selling over 2 million copies world-wide.
Fast-Forward to fall of 2008; Tisha released her fourth studio album titled ‘KEEP THE FAITH’. ‘The album received critical acclaim form critics, calling it “her best work yet” and her vocals had been label ‘standouts’. She calls ‘KEEP THE FAITH’ “vocally and creatively some of her best work”.The album sold 5 million copies world-wide, and spawned Tisha’s first No.1 single “Mine Again” featuring Raven of the Thunderwolf’s. The album also spawned a Top 10 featuring, ‘Elle Fame’, titled, “Sexy,Sexy,Sexy”. After ‘KEEP THE FAITH’, Tisha decided to take a break from the industry. She had been touring on the road non-stop from her musical debut in 2007 and decided to take a break to recharge her batteries and become inspired to make new music.
After changing labels several times from Eventual Records, to it’s predecessor Talent Radar Records, to Spice Records, to Metamorphosis Records in a two year span. Tisha finally decided to leave Metamorphosis Records and make Spice Records her home. Tisha signed a new recording contract and began recording her fifth studio album in the summer of 2009. She enlisted good friends, GirlSpice, to help her write and produce the album. On October 27th, 2009, Tisha released, To Whom It May Concern. The album’s title stemmed from the media backlash she had been receiving recent and it was her take on her critics. The album debut in the Top 5 in the United States, and the Top 10 in all other regions. The album spawned two Top 20 singles, “Heartache From Loving You” and “Wherever I Go” featuring GirlSpice. The album went on to sell 2.1 million copies world-wide.
In 2010, Tisha began recording her sixth studio album. She wanted the album to be more personal so she wrote and composed all the tracks herself. On March 30th, 2010, Tisha released the double disc, ‘I AM…BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN’. The album received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Album at that year’s IMA/Birdie Awards. The album spawned a Top 5 hit “I Get Lonely”, peaking at No.2 followed by the Top 10 Hit “Between Me & U” peaking at No.8. The album was remixed and Re-released and titled ‘I AM…Beautifully Human Remixed & Reloaded and was released on June 22nd, 2010 and debut at No.1 on the U.S.A charts giving Tisha her first No.1 album. The album spawned the No.1 single, ‘All Over the World’ and the Top 5 hit, ‘Clap!Clap!Clap!. Tisha also set out on her biggest World Tour yet to promote the album with the, I AM…Beautifully Human World Tour. R&B star Alicia Lena performed as the opening act.
Accomplishing her goals one at a time and coming out with music, that was creative and well received by critics, Tisha felt that she needed a break. She used her six month break to begin writing for her seventh studio album. Tisha teamed up once again with longtime friends and collaborators, GirlSpice to help her write and produce the album. This time, Tisha went deeper with this album. She explored places she would normally allow people to go. Sure in her six year career she accomplished a lot. She released six albums, sold 75 million records, traveled the world, and was known as a creative innovator, but she felt that the world still didn’t quite understand who she was. So she began recording her new record. Tisha then signed a deal with Junction Records for a reported 80 million dollars, the largest any female had been paid since, Mariah Carey’s deal in 2001 with Virgin Records. Tisha recorded her seventh studio album from October of 2010 to April of 2011.
That April Tisha graced the cover of Vogue Magazine, becoming the youngest person to ever be on the cover. She also released her debut single off her seventh studio album. The single, ‘That’s How You Want It’ featured rising rap stars, Jay-C and Monte Carlos. The song was critically praised and debut at No.2 on the Weekly Airplay Charts as well as No.2 on The Digital Charts. Tisha followed up the success of her first single off the record with the release of ‘History’ featuring GirlSpice, the single debut at No. 2 on the Weekly Airplay Charts as well as No.2 on The Digital Charts. The single went 3xplatinum proving to be one of Tisha’s biggest hits. ‘History’ was also critically acclaimed by critics, many considering it the best girl power anthem ever.
Tisha revealed in May of 2011 that the title for her seventh studio album would be, ‘Reveal’. She titled it Reveal, because she wanted to reveal herself more to her fans, so they could get a better understanding of her. She also looked at the album as a way for her to peal layers of herself. ‘Reveal’ was released on June 28th, 2011 to critical acclaim, critics and Tisha herself considered it her best work to date. The album featured a more urban vibe, infusing R&B, Hip-Hop, and Pop elements. The album was looked at as one of the best R&B albums of 2011.
When ‘Reveal’, was released it was predicted to debut at No.1. Instead it debut at No.12 on The Heat Top 20 Charts. The album sold 173,000 copies in it's first week, which isn’t a low number, but it surprised many of her fans, her label, and Tisha, herself. Tisha blamed the sales on her label, Junction Records, saying they provided no money for her album promotion, and cut all promotion when it came time to release the album. Tisha also provided court documents stating that she and several other music retailers lost close to millions of dollars when the label back-lighted her project. Investigators were hired and it the case was sent to trial. The case received moderately a short trail, with jurors deliberating for a month, and with evidence disclosed from the investigators of the case, it was proven that members of the executive branch of the label had embezzled money from promotional campaigns from Tisha and Junction Records. Tisha and her label received all money lost in a court ordered from the judge, and the members of the executive branch were fired and are now serving time in jail.
Tisha proved to have the LAST LAUGH with ‘Reveal’. The album later peaked at No.2 on The Heat Top 20 Charts, and has sold six million copies worldwide since its release in 2011 becoming her most successful album yet, and was one of the best-selling albums of 2011. Tisha went on her biggest tour yet in November of 2011 and performed in the United States, United Kingdom, Asia, Africa, South America, and Canada. The tour has grossed 80 million dollars in ticket sales so far. Tisha plans on Re-releasing the ‘Reveal’ on April 24th, 2012, titled ‘Reveal, Revealing, Revealed’.
