TIKA is a dynamic multidisciplinary artist, innovator, and love speaker whose work spans music, film, technology, and wellness. An Academy Award-winning songwriter and acclaimed film composer, she brings a rare fusion of creativity, emotional depth, and cultural vision to every project she touches. As a singer, actress, artistic director, cultural producer, educator, and energy healer, TIKA weaves sound, story, and spirit into powerful experiences that leave lasting impact.

In 2019, TIKA expanded her artistic repertoire by studying film composition at the prestigious Canadian Film Centre, quickly establishing herself as a transformative force in screen scoring. Her collaboration with Casey MQ earned her the 2022 Canadian Academy Award for Best Original Song for Learn to Swim, a milestone that cemented her place in Canada's cultural landscape. Since then, she has scored six short films, two animated series, and two feature films — blending soul, cinema, and sonic healing into unforgettable narratives.

Her 2021 debut album, Anywhere But Here, was hailed internationally as one of the year’s most powerful releases — a lush, soul-baring journey through grief, healing, and self-discovery. Recognized by Complex Magazine as "one of the most prolific creatives in Toronto," TIKA has also shared stages with icons like John Legend and NAO, captivating audiences with her magnetic presence.

Beyond the stage and studio, TIKA’s impact reverberates through the world of innovation. She is the founder of Iverna Island™, a tech-integrated arts and wellness ecosystem centering Black Womxn and Womxn of Colour through digital resilience workshops, VR storytelling, and festival experiences. Through her research collaborations with institutions like the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health and community partners such as Project Agape and Future Black Female, TIKA is pioneering new models for liberation-centered digital wellness and emotional sovereignty.

In 2025, TIKA will unveil her highly anticipated new project, The Frequency of Love — a sonic offering and sound healing experience designed to restore emotional resilience, cultivate spiritual sovereignty, and invite listeners into new dimensions of love, freedom, and wholeness.

At the same time, she continues developing The Frequency of Liberation™, a revolutionary sound-based wellness platform supporting marginalized communities around the world.

Whether composing for film, curating festivals, leading healing spaces, or building the next wave of liberation technologies, TIKA is not just an artist — she is a movement. A radiant force redefining the future of arts, healing, and innovation.
