I asked for a cover of a house classic, Tamika rose to the challenge and delivered . I have used her voice about 10 times now and can speak for her professional attitude, recording skills and keen sense of arrangement of harmonies on original material . Im only sorry i can't be in the room to hear those vocals being recorded as it would be so much fun. Great singer 10/10

What a GREAT singer !!! So professional, and goes the extra mile. She has a lovely southern voice, like a Tina Turner , that combines rock, blues, Soul- but truthfully she could sing a shopping list and make it sound great !! Good quality recording . A real professional. Recommended !

Boss level Singer ! She went the extra mile and put up with my slow communication. She's great- its a powerful voice she has ,and well recorded. Many people take the $$ and don't make that much effort.Tamika is the opposite. I admire her and her voice !

Great singer, really good pitching and phrasing ! nice to work with .

I gave Tamika a difficult task of coming close to a classic house vocal that i liked, and she did really great. It's a powerful soul voice she has- not breathy. She was fast and helpful to work with . I'll be back !
