Tarius Knight INDIE SPOTLIGHT

R&B Singer and Songwriter Extraordinaire

While some of the current generation may consider R&B past its prime, they must not have heard Tarius sing! He’s the man who brings R&B music to a climax with tantalizing twists and sensual spins on the typical topics of love, life, and the pursuit of happiness.

Born in Philly and raised there until his family moved to the Blackwood / Williamston, New Jersey areas in his early teen years (where his deep love of music and vocal talents bloomed). By age 19 he was singing in front of live audiences and performing in several groups and finally founded the wildly successful R&B trio 120. Their combined talents landed them appearances on NBC’s The 10 show, BET’s 106&Park, and a Comcast-sponsored nationwide telethon, in addition to performing on several New Jersey television and radio shows. He was recognized for creating 120’s white-hot slow songs and feelgood summertime anthems all while cultivating the mature, sultry, and passionate lyrics true R&B lovers crave.

Far from the average R&B crooner and balladeer, his sensual tenor voice paired with his titillating and romantic lyrics have him being compared to the vocal stylings of El DeBarge, Usher, Donell Jones, and Justin Timberlake. His lyrical talents have been likened to those of Eric Bellinger, Keri Hillson, Tank, and Neyo. He has been blessed to win First Place in several New Jersey music competitions as well as award-winning recognition by the New York Underground Music Awards. Again, humbled and so fortunate, he has been blessed and privileged to be able to travel the country performing with the likes of Boyz II Men, Jon B, Bobby Valentino, Case, Donnell Jones, Deborah Cox, and the legendary Marlon Jackson. He is driven to give his best, as a gifted singer, song writer, producer, to leave listeners craving more and swooning from his sexy, silky sounds and messages.

Recently, Tarius has added the title YouTuber to the list of accomplishments and duties to his resume. His new show called The Rhythm & Views Show offers his spin on music reactions and interesting celebrity conversations. The show also shines a light on independant artists and small businesses giving them a platform to expose their talent and products.

Tarius also has a new song and music video off the WE MY ETHOS album called “Get Up”, produced by award winning beat maker Slapp Turner, out on all digital platforms right now. The music video was released on Valentine’s Day 2023 with the hope that everyone would learn to love themselves first. The song deals with depression and mental awareness which is so important to everyone these days, but especially the black community.

Tarius has always written heartfelt songs about love, life, and the struggles of relationships from a truly personal stand point. His very passionate vocals and lyrics spill out to paint a clear picture of the raw emotions otherwise buried deep in his soul. Please let him know where his lyrics take you... @tariusknight
