Tiara Thomas, a Grammy- and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter and musician from Indianapolis, broke through in 2013 by co-writing, co-producing, and performing on Wale’s triple-platinum hit “Bad.” The single introduced the world to her soul-infused sound and raw storytelling.
After reclaiming her artistic identity with releases like Up in Smoke, Don’t Mention My Name, and FWMM, Thomas expanded her influence behind the scenes, writing for artists like H.E.R., Kaytranada, and Mary J. Blige. She’s co-written several Urban radio #1s, including H.E.R.’s “Slide” and “Damage." She won the Grammy for Song of the Year for H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe,” and had an Oscar win and Golden Globe nomination for “Fight for You” from Judas and the Black Messiah.
Recently, Thomas has pushed her sound in bold new directions, blending R&B roots with fresh textures. As she enters a new chapter, Tiara Thomas remains a raw storyteller and genre-bending force, bridging vulnerability, empowerment, and creativity.
