Tyka Nelson is an extraordinarily talented singer, songwriter and musician, and is also the only full sister of “Rock Legend” Prince. Tyka grew up surrounded by music. The Minneapolis based Artist is the daughter of Jazz singer Mattie Shaw, and accomplished musician John L. Nelson. Growing up Tyka listened to Mahalia Jackson records and began singing at the age of two. She wrote her first song at the age of ten. Tyka plays many different instruments including piano, guitar, bass and clarinet but admits; "I don't consider myself a musician, I play just well enough to put down my own musical ideas."
Tyka’s new CD, "A Brand New Me", combines her love for Gospel music with R&B, Funk, Pop and that special “Minneapolis Sound” that gives Tyka her own unique style.
Tyka will also be live on some local television stations - Saturday Nov. 22, Kare 11, 8a.m. - 9a.m., and Minnesota Showcase Dec. 10th, 08 at 10a.m.
