Canadian R&B singer-songwriter Tamia was discovered by Grammy Award-winning musician and record producer Quincy Jones in 1994. She recorded "You Put a Move on My Heart" on Jones' Q's Jook Joint album, as well as a duet with [[Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds|Babyface]] called "Slow Jams." Both songs earned Grammy Award nominations and were pivotal in launching Tamia's solo career. A recording with Brandy (singer), Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan in 1995 was also nominated for a Grammy.
Tamia, who is married to the Phoenix Suns' Grant Hill, sang the Canadian National Anthem "Oh Canada" at the 2009 NBA All-Star Game.

Career
Tamia studied music and acting from a young age and performed publicly as a singer in Ontario while still a teenager. She gained some recognition by winning the YTV Vocal Achievement Award in 1993 and the Steve Ross Music Scholarship the following year, but her big break came when she met Quincy Jones at party for Luther Vandross. She released her first solo album, Tamia in 1998. Her latest album, Between Friends was released independently in 2006 and re-released with additional songs in 2007.Tamia Quotes
"What it [multiple sclerosis] changed about me is that it put everything into perspective. I feel very fortunate and blessed that I have a job that I love to do. And I have such a great family and they support me in what I do. My parents both worked in factory and they both hated their jobs and I got to see that. So, I feel very blessed."Blogcritics: Interview: Tamia, Singer and Songwriter (May 21, 2008)"Honestly, I think that your kids are your legacy. No matter how great a singer I become, if people said, 'Yes, she was a great singer but she was a bad mom,' I would be heartbroken. I would rather be remembered as a good mom, someone who tried to keep the balance, especially when it comes to family."Langfield Entertainent: Tamia Interview (February 15, 2007)
