In a music world traditionally dominated by men, breaking through as a woman has become a norm as many women have put in the work to change the narrative for women. The space now gives women the chance to fully embrace their talents and project themselves on the big stages. Tanasia Paige, also known as Miss Rising Icon, is treading the path laid down by those female icons while also doing her part to light the path even brighter for women coming after her.
Tanasia Paige has established herself as the new voice to listen to as her vocal range and sonorous voice have helped her stand out. The Newark, NJ-born musical talent is coursing through her career with no holds barred and actively working her way up to the top of the industry. She has captured many people’s attention with her renditions of the national anthem which she has performed at various high school games and for the Somerset Patriots baseball team.
Taking charge of her music career by herself after auditioning for singing competitions The Voice and American Idol, she is now set to release her new single, “The Time is Now,” on December 12, 2021. This is her first project in a long time, and she has expressed optimism about how she hopes her fans will receive the song. Tanasia’s musical roots play a significant role in her evolution as an artist, and from playing her first paid gig as a 7-year-old girl, she knew that was what she wanted to do.
She played in a jazz band under the directorship of the late Hassan Williams, and she credits that period as one of the most profound in her music journey. “That is a moment in time that I will forever cherish. God rest the soul of my band director. I learned so much from him musically, and I promised never to stop, and I haven’t since,“ she said. She also gives credit to her parents, who are both into singing, producing music and playing instruments. They got her onto the music path when she was five, and the ride has kept on ever since.
Miss Rising Icon is all about projecting positivity into the world. She’s passionate about inspiring and motivating people to be the best they can be in anything they choose to do. “I am 100% myself and unapologetically so. This is my only distinguishing factor. So many hardworking musicians never give up like me but what sets me apart is that nobody can ever be like me, sound like me or create the way I do,” she declared.
As a mother to a 4-year-old girl and a soon-to-be three-year-old son, Tanasia firmly believes that creating a better world for the younger ones should have begun before now, and she has vowed to do her part by contributing to that world through music. In a few years, she sees herself becoming a well-recognized artist both nationally and internationally.
With her upcoming single, she hopes to cement her spot as an artist with promise and, over the next few singles, become the next big thing for the entire music industry to watch out for.
