Lara Lark: The Real Ethereal Musician
It has never ceased to amaze me to know that there are published authors and albums published in local shops in my area. It is remarkable to see someone go through with their dream to be a creator. It’s remarkable to me because I’ve always known about music through the radio and TV. Someone who has gotten to a global effect, but I gotta tell you the most powerful thing is seeing someone’s accomplishments on the shelf to be discovered before it takes off. This artist I have listened to talked to and had the opportunity to spread the word of her enchanting, ethereal sounds.

According to his bio, TAIN first came on the music scene as a hip-hop artist in 2007. While living in Virginia, he began exploring his talents with music and wordplay. He joined a group called The Rich City Screw and performed in places all throughout Richmond. “I remember the first show I did with them was at a restaurant and all the people there loved it,” he said. “after that I knew it was my calling. Shortly after that I did an underground song called ‘pull up to the club.’ I knew the song was dope, but I didn’t realize how much people liked it until I did a small show with about 50-to-60 people and they all knew the words. From that moment on I knew this was something I’m supposed to do.” What U Need is TAIN's most recent song release now available on all music platforms. TAIN took the time to answer our questions.
