Editor's note

Tamia's smooth R&B voice and quiet independence

A Canadian singer who built her own label after leaving Quincy Jones's imprint.

For a good sense of her, start with 'So Into You' and 'Can't No Man.' They frame that smooth voice and the kind of mid-tempo groove she does so well.

Tamia's voice has that smooth, controlled quality that works perfectly in straightforward R&B settings. Songs like 'Can't No Man' show her leaning into soul and mid-tempo grooves, while 'So Into You' became one of those quiet R&B staples that just sticks around. She won a JUNO Award for Best R&B/Soul Recording, which says something about how she's been received up north and beyond.

She grew up singing in a choir in Windsor, Canada, then moved to Los Angeles at 19 and got signed to Quincy Jones's Qwest Records. After albums like 'A Nu Day' and 'Beautiful Surprise,' she left her label over creative differences in 2006 and started her own, Plus One Entertainment.
