New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Toronto based singer/songwriter Tasha
Angela releases the music video for her debut single "Lost in Nostalgia" via Public Records Inc/Universal Music. Directed by
Angelica Milash from Mad Ruk Entertainment (Jessie Reyez,
Daniel Caesar, Alessia Cara) the video is a tender journey in to Tasha Angela's memories. Set in a roller rink the video is a series of dream like vignettes featuring Tasha moving in and out of reality. The video is an homage to fond childhood memories memories and the warmth they evoke in adulthood.
"The Lost in Nostalgia visuals capture the essence of the song by having many elements that relate to the past and being in a reminiscent, dream-like state of mind. The video for the song means a lot to me, because it captures the feeling, vibe and message of the record perfectly. The production process felt like a breeze because of the amazing people on set and the director who allowed both of our creative minds to shine." Tasha Angela
"Lost in Nostalgia is a slow-paced visual piece that explores nostalgia through a colourful lens of Tasha's memory. We had so much fun creating this world together."

"Lost In Nostalgia" is the first single from Tasha Angela's upcoming EP "Hidden Gems" due for release later this year.
Toronto based recording artist, Tasha Angela, is a singer/songwriter/pianist/composer. Blessed with a gift for melody - Tasha's writing has an innocence that belies a maturity beyond her years.
Her passion for making music began at the early age of 11, performing at school recitals, writing poems and singing along to her favourite songs on her way to school. It was in these moments that Tasha
Angela discovered her passion for singing and began to develop her sound. Drawing inspiration from Alicia Keys,
India Arie, Will I Am and
Lady Gaga she was drawn to R&B and soul because in her words: "that's the way that it translates into with the words and melodies that I hear in my head." Tasha
Angela dedicates the majority of her time to developing and perfecting her songwriting craft - she actively studies those who have come before her and is constantly refining her practice to determine what a great song is.
Tasha treats her ability to create music as a form of healing, "I feel as though it's the one thing that truly excites me when I wake up. When I hear a melody in my head and put the keys behind it and words to follow, it's as if I can capture certain moments and make them last forever," she tells us.
In early 2019, Tasha
Angela connected with Toronto based music industry and community leader Gavin
Sheppard at
Jessie Reyez' song writing camp. Taken by her sound and talent, Gavin introduced Tasha to Dan Kurtz (Dragonette & The New Deal) and his studio, The Asylum, in the spring of 2019. It was at The Asylum that Tasha finally found a collaborative musical home. It was also at The Asylum that Tasha began working and recording the majority of her "Hidden Gems EP" in earnest with producer/arranger Sam "Avenue" Willows (Carousel, Dragonette, Tokyo
Police Club). This body of work also includes one single "Up To You" - which was produced by Juno Award winner, Rich Kidd at the
Jessie Reyez writing camp. All the songs are mixed by Howie Beck (Feist, Dragonette,
Charlotte Day Wilson).
Tasha
Angela is a
Honey Jam 2017 alumni and has performed on a few other stages in Toronto including showcases with Talent Nation and with Second Nature Group. Confident, youthful and driven Tasha is a special and rare talent at the dawn of her creative journey with so much more to come.
