RECORDING ARTIST, SINGER/SONGWRITER AND PHILANTHROPIST, TOCARRA HAMILTON.

 

It is apparent at first look and listen that there is no one like her. There is no box to place her in. Pop, R&B, Hip-hop and Latin Dance Music are all works on her resume. With all that she has accomplished, it’s hard to believe, she’s an independent artist. Tocarra’s sheer presence alone commands any room she enters and the indescribable “it factor” is hers to claim. This Milwaukee born and bred “little woman” began singing from humble beginnings in her church choir. A near-death experience in an almost fatal auto accident, Tocarra was told that she would never walk again, but Tocarra turned her focus to becoming a singer. Taking a leap of faith, she moved to Atlanta at the tender age of 17, alone with nothing but her belief in God, she perseveres to turn her own life’s tragedies into triumphs.

 

Singer/Songwriter, Tocarra Hamilton, is best known for her features with Usher on "Daddy's Home", and Raz B and Pitbull's "Dance With Me". She has toured the US, opening up for national acts like Jazmine Sullivan, Wale and Nicki Minaj and performing in packed coliseums on big stages for events like the Bronner Bros Hair Show, the Dubb Car Show Tour and For Sisters Only.
