ABOUT THE ARTIST: Ms. Tabú
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Connecticut, Tabitha Marie Long, better known on stage as Ms. Tabu, is a well-rounded writer and performance poet, writing her first poem at the young age of ten. She then discovered a new gift for rhythm and lyricism at thirteen and has been songwriting ever since. Not to mention her theatrical roots that stem from early childhood and have grown around her wordplay and envelop her artistic demeanor on stage. For the audience, witnessing the real life inspired acts of Ms. Tabu can be like watching a clip from a dramatically enchanting play. In some of her writings, she focuses on interracial issues with pieces such as "I'm Not Worth Your Stereotypes," as she passionately promotes diversity through her nicely seasoned delivery of words. Both in and out of her artistry, Ms. Tabu is a humanitarian who advocates for social justice and equal rights. From her viewpoint, it is through her honesty and courageousness that others can be reached.
Extremely versatile, she also writes of many other subjects, such as ones pertaining to love, spirituality, and family. She takes lovers of her craft into her world to share her heart with them. Her work echoes of a soul being delivered from personal struggles, as she heals through each page of her life. She is both hip-hop and soulful with a touch of a woman's manifesto and a Free Verse style that lets her navigate from poetry to lyricism, making her a phenomenal performer.
Ms. Tabu has been featured at countless events and venues, mainly between Connecticut and New York City. On September 23rd 2010, Ms. Tabu successfully presented the grand debut of her show, "MIC2SOUL," which showcased new artists on a monthly basis. On May 23, 2015, Ms. Tabu will release her first book of poetry, Cross Points: The Poetic Diary of Ms. Tabu and then plans to further expand her horizons on a book tour. A woman of many goals, Ms. Tabu is currently in the process of publishing her second poetry book, Inkwells of Love. She also has plans to record several Spoken Word albums based on the material in her books.
It would be easy for someone to assume that a person so artistically equipped would lack humility, but Ms. Tabu humbly perceives herself as a vessel with a purpose to deliver messages through her craft. She is on a God-given mission not only to give voice to the voiceless, but to instill healing and growth in people through relating experiences.

Reviews:
"Some "TABU's" Are Good To Have
Strong, Courageous, Conscious, Authentic, Spiritual, Unrestricted...just some of the words that describe this artist. I've had the privilege to work with her on several projects. Professionally she is a pleasure to work with. Always on point with the coordination and details. Artistry; refreshing. Especially when discussing topics that are taboo's across communities and cultures. Her faith and her appreciation/value of her life experiences permeates throughout her work. But getting across a message of hope, redemption, reconciliation and breakthrough is her main objective, which she accomplishes all of the time."
-C.Ivan OsbornBand/artist history
I am an independent artist. Please refer to my bio for some of my history as of yet or better yet, hit me up and I will show and prove to you exactly what it is I do now and did then.Have you performed in front of an audience?I play live all of the time. Since I finally have unlocked my talent for the world to see in September 09' after harvesting this God given gift for years and years, I've been featuring nonstop and frequent at open mic nights often as well. This is MY LIFE. It always has been my life, the only difference now is that everyone knows about it.

Life influences:
God. I always say that I am only a vessel put here to deliver the messages. I write from the vents of my chest and when it comes, I give birth to whatever it is God gave me this time. Personal experiences help mold a lot of my expressive thoughts and emotions behind the words. I'm always going through or have gone through whatever it is I am writing about, or I am predicting something that I am about to go through. Now and then I catch myself fantasizing too...What equipment do you use?
Right now on my computer all I have is an audio-technica microphone and a recording program. I'm working on investing in my own studio set-up---but I will continue recording one way or another! ;-)Anything else?
