About

Raised by two professional musicians in New York City, Tia started singing before she can remember, picked up the guitar at the age of 11, and the bass a few years later. She has been teaching guitar since age 16, completed a BA in music at the City College of New York and earned a certificate in audio recording and production from The Institute of Audio Research. She has toured the U.S., Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia and has worked with the bands Liturgy, Judas Priestess, Huh, and The Fugue. In addition to seeing many students each week, Tia currently plays with The Bangos (a tribute to The Bangles and The Go Gos), Reservoir Dawgs 90s band, and does solo acoustic guitar/vocal work at a variety of private clubs and events.
