Tigarah(1982年—,出生于日本东京),是一队来自日本的baile funk司仪,在她们的音乐的元素中包含了grime、crunk和Baltimore club。她能以英语和日语来表演,同时也在美国和日本都有为数正在增长的追随者。她现在把时间分配在来往洛杉矶和其家中。Tigarah这个字,按照她的解释为“很像老虎的女生”。
Tigarah从她在庆应义塾大学的巴西同学中通晓baile funk,一种巴西版本的Miami Bass。主修政治科学的她被这些音乐吸引了,所以她到访圣保罗和里约热内卢,学习多些有关这方面的知识,和融入巴西人的文化。留在里约热内卢期间,她还遇上了Mr. D,一个拥有瑞士和德国血统的唱片骑师/制作人,他经常来往当地和洛杉矶。Mr. D现在是Tigarah的主要伙伴,他们创作了一张有8首歌的EP,现在于她的官方网站中发售。
虽然她没有受到大型唱片公司的招俫,但是她已经在美国国家公共广播,和多本音乐杂志中亮相,包括Blender Magazine, URB, "XLR8R", "Dazed & Confused"和Los Angeles Times。而她的音乐在电视节目"Numbers"中可以听到,而游戏FIFA 2007和极品飞车10中也在其音乐箱中收录她的作品,还有商业用途的手提电话铃声供应商Mobizzo。她现在的知名度,已能和同样靠网络走红的genre-bending司仪M.I.A.相比。
Tokyo-born MC Tigarah considered becoming a politician or ambassador while majoring in political science at Keio University, but she uses her global outlook in her music, which blends baile funk, grime, and crunk with topical, convention-challenging lyrics. The "girl like a tiger" was introduced to baile funk by her Brazilian classmates and was so inspired that she went to Brazil, making several trips to So Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to learn more about the culture and record with local musicians. It was in Rio de Janeiro that she met DJ/producer Mr. D. The pair decided to work together in 2003, and in 2006 they self-released the Tigarah EP, which included songs such as the consumerist-critical "Roppongi-Dori." That year they also signed a deal with Universal Records. Tigarah's music has appeared on TV shows such as Numbers and The L Word, and in video games including FIFA 08 and Need for Speed: Carbon. The duo spent 2007 bouncing between points including Rio, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, touring and working on tracks for their debut album, Revolution, which was released in spring 2008.
