Read her responses below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since our last interview, what has happened in the world of Tia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have released several singles and music videos, and have had some performances where I have shared a stage with artists like Queen Ifrica, Ras Batch, Jah 9, Dezarie, Etana, I- Octane, and Pressure. I&#8217;ve also worked with a couple international producers, and just networking in general.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve been performing throughout the islands and have been booked for many events. How does it feel to see your progression as an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve enjoyed my progression thus far, because it has allowed me to meet people I&#8217;ve never dreamed of meeting. The most rewarding thing is when people get the same feeling from my music that it gave me when I wrote it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your latest song, &#8220;Can You Feel It?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The song is about someone who feels as if she can&#8217;t\/doesn&#8217;t want to escape from the love she feels toward her significant other, so she seeks reassurance that they feel the same way she does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s in store for Tia? What can we look forward to in the near and mid-term future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More traveling, networking, more singles, and I plan to start working on an EP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You just got married to DJ Genius! It&#8217;s still fresh, but how does it feel? And any babies soon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well it feels the same (laughs).
