Kia Calloway - R&B, hip hop, and pop singer.

She is not just any Baltimore woman with stars in her eyes. Her father was killed before she was born. Her mother used drugs and died of HIV when she was a teenager. 'A lot of artists have two parents by their side,' she said. 'I didn't have that. The only thing that I did was I prayed and I prayed and I prayed. And I followed my heart. And I kept at it.'

She formed her own management group - Calloway Management.  She independently released her first album last year, titled It's Not A Game. .

Calloway performs mostly local shows, doing a lot of 'Baltimore Believe' events and AIDS benefits, while also singing at clubs and schools. 'I believe in giving back to the community,' she said.

She hopes that she can serve as a role model to young women in Baltimore, young women like her, who grew in unfortunate circumstances.

Tekeah C. Scott aka Green Tea

Many people hear the sultry, soul- filled voice of Green Tea, and seem to be an overwhelmed by her positive and heartfelt messages in her songs whether, the piece is original or another's artist's work. There are constant inquiries of when she is going to release an album or the time and place of her next performance, which often times catches Green Tea, by surprise.  Her humble nature, carefree personality, and sultry sounds make her comfortable with her audience on and off the stage. 

At a very young age, Green Tea began singing in the church. As she matured, her love of music extended far beyond gospel.  Influenced by the culture and community of DC, soul, jazz, rhythm and blues, opera, classical, and rock & roll were added to her repertoire.  Green Tea's love for music has continued to expand and develop throughout the years.  Not only is she an avid listener of music, but she is a poetic speaker through music.  She speaks of experiences learned through life, which makes it VERY easy for audiences to relate to her musically. Green Tea's music focuses on the soul of the individual: the mind, will, and emotions, while her delivery sets the tone for growth, power, and love.

Green Tea's debut album, Have a Cup of Green Tea Dosage I: Shades of Green, illustrates the power of music. Depicted as the soundtrack for everyday life, Green Tea pours in her heart and soul and captures the hearts of the people.  Green Tea continues to hone her craft to perpetuate the notion that music has the power to break an impoverished mindset.

So, no matter the time or day, good or bad - pause, and have a cup of Green Tea.

After all, its good for the soul.
