Imagine a pastel-hued realm where lines between gender and genre disappear, and expectations, constraints and rules float away. You can wear whatever you want to wear, and be whoever you want to be unapologetically. Welcome to the world of Tayla Parx. The three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist, singer, songwriter, and boundary breaker is creating a space for her listeners to come as they are.
Tayla set about unlocking that world in 2017 with her TaylaMade mixtape. Up to that point, the Dallas native had made her mark from two opposites vantage points-behind-the-scenes in music and on-screen in television, films, and video games. As a songwriter, her discography spans hits for everyone from Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, and Meghan Trainor to Ariana Grande, Janelle Monáe, Nicki Minaj, Prince Royce & BTS. In addition to multi-platinum smashes such as Fifth Harmony's "BO$$", Chris Brown's "Anyway." & "Love Lies" by Khalid & Normani. As an actress, she appeared in Hairspray, True Jackson, VP as well as The Walking Dead and Sims video game franchises. Along the way, Vogue, NYLON, Highsnobiety, Billboard, and more shined a spotlight on her. The TaylaMade mixtape hinted at her potential, but it merely scratched the surface.
That brings us to her major label debut project, the aptly titled WE NEED TO TALK [Tayla Made/Atlantic Records]. She paved the way for its arrival with the ethereal "Runaway" [feat. Khalid], which quickly clocked over 9 million Spotify streams within a few months. The follow-up single "Me vs. Us" twirls a colorful sonic kaleidoscope, splashing strains of pop and R&B across a quirky canvas of production. Straight out of the gate, it earned the praise of Complex and Refinery29, to name a few.
At the same time, she delivers a provocative message on WE NEED TO TALK. "Slow Dancing" dives into gender fluidity, while "I Want You" hilariously explores the problem of falling for multiple people at once, asking, "Can you blame me for wanting you, and you, and you, and you too?"
In the end, Tayla will be the topic of conversation for a long time to come with We Need To Talk.- Actress

- Nathaniel Glen Miller Jr. was born on July 24, 2000 in Mesquite, Texas. Since a child, he has aspired to be a big factor in the entertainment industry. It has always been his dream to work with big stars in an effort to produce hit works of art. Apart from being a film producer, Nathaniel is also a Musical Artist and CEO of IER Entertainment. His artist C.h.a.m.p is an acronym for, "Change Happens at My Pace." C.h.a.m.p currently has 2 EPs out titled Paper Route and YOLO. Baby Debo, the second track of the YOLO EP is where C.h.a.m.p adopted his nickname. His muscular physique and dominant aura earns him the title, "Baby Debo" mirroring the great Debo character from Ice Cube's, "Friday."
C.h.a.m.p's motivation as a rapper is unique and pretty irregular compared to other artists. Although rapping about money, women and fame, C.h.a.m.p's music also consists of a lot of heartache and pain. On August 31, 2019, Miller was shot in the head and hospitalized. It was during this time of healing and reflection that C.h.a.m.p was formed. This name consistently reminded Nathaniel that, "Change Happens at My Pace." As a result, Baby Debo's music is ultimately a reflection of his crazy, unorthodox life experiences.
C.h.a.m.p released his first EP, "Paper Route," on June 10, 2021. By surprise, his music was immediately embraced by people worldwide. Paper Route essentially strictly shows his audience his lyrical skill and laid back flow on tracks like Obsessed, Win and Feel So Right. He then picks up the pace on tracks like Lebron, Paper Route and Vibez. After quick unexpected acceptance into the hip-hop community, C.h.a.m.p released, "YOLO," on July 23, 2021, a day before his birthday. On this EP, C.h.a.m.p starts to give a look into his personal life, especially on tracks YOLO, Nights Like These and PTSD. Again, he also produces hits such as: With the Shits, Baby Debo and Beeper Freestyle.
