Tarius is rapidly turning heads with his hip and captivating club tracks. His smooth, romantic voice sets him apart from the average ballad vocalist. The rising star adds his own style to the R&B flava/ Pop/ Hip Hop category. The Philadelphia born singer, writer and producer is musically self controlled, allowing him to stay far ahead of the competition.
Tarius has perfected the craft of entertainer by dazzling audiences everywhere, and winning numerous talent competitions. This solo artist has worked hard at becoming a perfectionist after working with different singing groups.
Seeing is believing, and hearing his silky smooth voice is like satin to the touch.

Why this name?
I created the stage name Tarius from my astrological sign of Sagittarius. This name keeps me true to who I am, as well establishing me as a performer who is full of excitement and Hopefully destined for fame.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has changed the face of music by giving us(the artist) worldwide exposure and most importantly, it is a tool that ANYONE can use.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this point in my career, I am going for an independant record deal with major distribution, but if a major wanted to sign me and the deal was right, of course I would go with it. Majority of the times a major has more power to break an artist , you just have more control with an independent label.

My musical influences would definately start with everyone's favorite singer Micheal Jackson for being the ultimate entertainer. I also like Marvin Gaye for his message and The Isley Brothers for their smooth vocals.
