Music Monday.

Since this is my very first Music Monday post I wanted to start it off right and recognize someone from my hometown, an up & coming artist from Indianapolis, IN.

You probably have heard her incredible soulful voice on Wale's track, The Cloud. Check it out here.

The Indianapolis Star just recently reported an article on her & a few other local artist. See below.

Tiara Thomas is a bundle of intersections and contradictions. Few musicians share her ability to glide effortlessly between angelic singing and agitated rapping, and Thomas accompanies herself on acoustic guitar throughout.

She's a self-described "dork" who will watch a TV marathon of "Lord of the Rings" movies, but her looks landed her a modeling job in a national ad campaign for American Eagle Outfitters.

Thomas' lyrics can be playful to the point of rhyming about blue jeans (as she does in a song that's heard in American Eagle stores). Elsewhere, her words describe driving a car while clutching a gun's ammunition clip.
The Ball State student and Lawrence North High School graduate doesn't pretend to be shaped by rough-and-tumble experiences.

You can read more about Tiara Thomas on the Indy Star Website.
