Talina is a 17 year old recording artist whose body of work and accomplishments are nothing short of incredible when you consider her age. She has had three number one hits on the Independent Music Network (IMN), has been honored by numerous organizations, has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Apollo, GMA Studios, The Grove, Culver Studios, Citi Field and has been featured on every major Television Network.

Talina’s most recent video of her ballad Mockingbird has garnered over a million views and she is about to release her latest video called “Forever” which was inspired by a U.S. Marine who asked Talina to write a song for military families because of the hardships they go through when their loved ones are away serving and defending our country. “Forever” is moving, inspirational and the music Talina penned will touch your soul.
Her musical style has been described as a fusion of pop with a little soul/R&B flavor and songs span from the techno dance hit “Hypnotized” to driving ballads such as “I’ll Be There For You” which was inspired on March 11, 2011 when the earthquake and tsunami rocked the coast of Japan.
Talina considers herself to be an inspirational songwriter, plays several instruments and has been blessed with perfect pitch. Talina began writing and recording her debut album Adapted at the ripe old age of 11 and has not slowed down since. Her music has been licensed in movies, documentaries, instructional dance videos and her management team has a philosophy of constant movement and growth.
In 2013 she decided to take a stance against bullying and wrote an award winning anti-bullying anthem, “Just Be Nice” and she was voted Main Stream Teen Artist of the Year by (IMN) because of it. Talina takes bullying seriously and has started a musical program called “It’s Ok to Be Different” which she performs in schools. Many organizations such as Girl Scouts of Minnesota are creating anti-bullying videos and PSA’s using Talina’s hit song “Just Be Nice”.
In 2014 Talina has taken on the role of Global Ambassador for Girls World Expo where she will tour the country, perform and talk to thousands of girls about self- empowerment and letting them know that they all have a voice and it must be heard.
