The music-making process can be an intriguing experience full of brainstorming moments. It’s also arguably an intense course where an artist tries to reflect their thoughts and the message they want to pass along to the listener. But what sets the best artists apart from the rest is their ability to visualize emotions through lyrics. This extraordinary ability helps artists bring their audience with them through their musical journey in a fantastic piece of art.
Tarik, an LA-based artist, is one of the few artists with a great mastery of this unique technique. Tarik is widely known as a fast-rising music talent taking over the industry with his ability to make music for a visual world. Tarik also possesses an innate mastery of expressing himself through music, allowing his fanbase to draw from his energy and get a clear picture of his emotions through his lyrics.
Tarik was born in Canada but later relocated to the US to pursue his music ambitions. He is a singer, songwriter, and actor with a great sense of humor and a warm personality. Tarik loves to approach his lyrics with an open mind, sometimes seeing life from a childlike point of view. He is a naturally gifted songwriter with captivating lyrics that send his listeners down a path of nostalgia to a time where love reigned supreme. A passionate songwriter, Tarik loves to spend most of his time penning down lyrics and mostly stays awake all night crafting melodies that inspire fans to travel to a world of simplicity with him.
With an attitude that’s true to his core, Tarik is somewhat of an anti-artist artist, which leaves his audience with nothing but the good stuff. He perhaps learned some of his skills from his musical inspirations like Michael Jackson, Elton John, and George Michael. Those with a taste for current chart-topping artists such as Ed Sheeran would also appreciate Tarik’s music.
In his young music career, Tarik is already receiving recognition from numerous industry players. Many music enthusiasts acknowledge him as an artist with a very nostalgic musical sound. The majority love this sound because it creates a mood for them to return home and reminisce over simpler times.
“I feel that’s a big accomplishment to be able to be there for people as they are there for me. I draw from their experiences and intertwine them with mine to create a song that feels warm to the heart,” explains Tarik.
However, working alone has always been a big challenge for Tarik. But no matter how tough the going gets, it has never stopped him from writing. He believes his writing led him to an incredible producer whose work aligns with his, co-creating a body of work that Tarik is very proud of. More so today as his creative work and taste in music matures day after day. Having a producer to bounce ideas off of and love what they do, was a big stepping stone to overcoming the many challenges of facing the journey solo.
