TANSU has been training to become a diva her whole life. The longtime Harlem resident, who is of Turkish-Irish descent, has an irrepressible spirit, a renegade sense of fun, and a totally knockout voice, honed through years of training with the masters and absorbing the work of her favorite soul divas. Her debut EP The City, recorded with friend and longtime collaborator Dave Rublin (American Authors), is a chronicle of a life lived well, delivered by a sterling, astounding voice; spanning indie-soul, sparkling pop and hypnotic trap -- it’s a brilliantly defined debut for the lifelong musician. The Part One in its title says all you need to know: TANSU has a lot more to say from here.
