The Hype decided to catch up with Tafia to see what is to come in the future!

When did you realize that you wanted to be a prominent artist in the entertainment industry?

Tafia: I knew I wanted to be a prominent artist in the entertainment industry from the reactions I was getting from random people from different states, that knew who I was, just from an interview I did that went viral. People were begging to drop more music and were telling me not to stop.

Where did the name ”Tafia” originate? Is their a meaning behind your stage name?

Tafia: It was a name I got from my native language. “Tafia” is what we call rum. But it was just different instead of calling myself “Lil” this or “young” that. I’m different in a lot of ways.

What is your motivation to create your music portfolio?

Tafia: My motivation comes from what I’ve been through. I’ve been fighting all my life. Fighting for peace and true happiness and not having to struggle anymore. My happiness usually only lasts for a couple days at a time.

What are your 3 top favorite records of your music and why are those choices significant to yourself?

Tafia: I actually have more than 3 favorite songs of mine but if I had to choose 3 it would be “I’m the type,” “Let Me Love You” and “Aquafina.” Those songs set the tone for ANYONE and ANYWHERE.

What should we expect from you in the near future? New music/videos?

Tafia: Expect a lot coming from me in the near future. A LOT! Haha that’s a threat and a promise.
