After contemplating a career as a politician or ambassador, TIGARAH felt she could best speak her mind if she made music her life. So, shortly after majoring in political science at Tokyo's renowned Keio University, she started writing songs on her own in her tiny room in Tokyo, inspired by the Baile Funk music from Brazil. In several trips to Sao Paulo and Rio, TIGARAH immersed herself in Brazilian culture and recorded music together with local musicians. It was in Rio where TIGARAH started collaborating with beatmaker MR.D and they since formed a duo who write and produce everything together. Since 2003, they're recording tracks on a regular basis in Los Angeles.
TIGARAH's songs are inspired by many different styles: Baile Funk music, UK Grime, Baltimore Club and Hip-hop, all blended together with clever rhymes in Japanese that cover topics from culture clash, fake friends, defending your own style or shallow money-minded-ness. TIGARAH is all about swimming against the mainstream in today's world of mass culture, choosing your own goal in life and going after your dream. A club tour in America and Japan and the release of TIGARAH's first album is scheduled for fall 2006... stay tuned!
