Pure Royalty: TaKeya "R&B Princess of Houston" Rogers

I have had the privilege of meeting an array of people. Many of them nice and then some that were not so nice. When you experience the highs and lows of any industry, coming across good people is well, refreshing. Today, I come to you to share my experience with a remarkable young woman, Ms. TaKeya Rogers, the R&B Princess of Houston! I have been following TaKeya since June of 2010, after hearing one of her songs on Reverbnation. The song, Caught Up, has been a personal favorite since I first heard it. Her voice is sultry, its deep and rich tone will lull you off to sleep, or where ever your heart and mind desires to go. It became my mission to learn more about this young lady, known as the R&B Princess of Houston. That mission was fulfilled after doing research and landing an interview with the talented songtress.

TaKeya, presents as a very humble, spiritual, and positive person. Her tweets and Facebook posts are more than inspiring, they send messages of love, encouragement and prosperity. As with any young woman, there are also those posts offering 'sister girl' advice for those that may be down on their luck or experiencing hardship with their mate. Whatever the reason is, TaKeya extends encouraging words. These are the same factors that influence her music. A solo recording artist, TaKeya Rogers, allows music to speak to her in many ways, as a result of this she is able to deliver a beautiful voice and powerful messages. Ms. Rogers allows the messages to be the force behind her pen, writing her own songs, gives her the freedom to express and create without limitations. As a song writer, she also is looking to collaborate with other song writers. Not only is she a song writer, she takes pride in being a role model and as such believes that its important for people, especially young girls to chase their dreams rather than follow them.

When listening to TaKeya, you cant help but think of Toni Braxton, Anita Baker and other award winning songtresses with deep, intoxicating voices. Having being placed in the same league as these stars, TaKeya, feels that it is an honor but is pleased with having a unique sound. Musically influenced by Whitney Houston, confirms that some artists just can't be compared. Just as any other human being TaKeya isn't exempt from trials and tribulations, but what she does is take that energy and reconvert it into her music. Not only does she take her personal experiences, but she incorporates her fans experiences as well. She says her fans are her motivation and she really does read fan mail. One piece of advise that she offers anyone amidst a struggle is to seek God first as He is her source of peace.

TaKeya became interested in the arts in high school where she was enrolled in theatre production and this early honing, helped land Ms. Rogers an apperance in the Muhammad Ali film, starring Will Smith. Not only did this instruction assist her but an inspiring performance by Whitney Houston, singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, ignited the fire to take her craft further. From there she begin participating in talent shows and making a name for herself. She decided to create her legacy, but with help of course. In following TaKeya for sometime, I notice that she is a very spiritual person and undoubtedly has a relationship with God. She stated that she keeps God first and everytime she steps on stage he's there with her. TaKeya is spiritually driven, eventually aspires to create a Hip-Hop album. TaKeya's mother, (Ms. Linda), has been her source of strength as well. God has blessed her with a supportive mother, who believed in her in spite of. Sweet Tooth Media exists to support and highlighting these sustenation stations is undeniable and everlasting critical. The R&B Princess is also supported by her fans from MySpace, and the social media followers such as Twitter and Facebook, and it means the world to know that they support her grind. She also shouts out @13BeatKing, her producer, as he holds her down musically.

Currently The R&B Princess is working on her solo R&B album, subtitled R&B Princess. She states that this album is one that she hopes to penetrate all markets. Her target audience are the 30 somethings, and songs that the young can relate to. She says this is due in part to her having an old soul. During the interview, we shared a moment when discussing how our maternal structures have influenced the old soul, and mature mentality. TaKeya says that she was raised around lots of wisdom. We had to laugh when she remembered that someone asked Beyonce the same question. When TaKeya R&B Princess Rogers creates she has to have God, Focus and Determination otherwise her mind is clogged up and she develops writers' block. Usually, to cope with such, she asks for strength, guidance of her words. Its imperative for an artist to prepare before going to the studio and that is what she does. According to the songtress, ..."there is no such thing as being too prepared". Well you can here how prepared to mesmerize the world, this shining star is.
