Talia Goddess (Tayahna Walcott) is a 23-year-old multidisciplinary artist from Brooklyn, New York, now based in London. A self-taught musician, producer, DJ, and creative director, her versatile artistry has catapulted her to prominence as an exciting young visionary shaping the future of music, art, and creative entrepreneurship. Born to immigrant parents from Guyana and London, her work is heavily influenced by contemporary Afro-diasporic culture — fusing ancestral roots with modern techniques to navigate hybridized identities and champion self-authorship within cultural narratives, especially from underrepresented voices. Through her independent label Trance Records, she has released two musical projects, Poster Girl and DOWN 2 EARTH, which have amassed over 4 million streams globally. She has collaborated with global brands including Dazed, Diesel, Converse, NTS, AFROPUNK, and COLORSxSTUDIOS, showcasing her commitment to pushing creative boundaries and artistic innovation.Recently at SILO, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Elsewhere · often with Daniro, BABYSP1DER, KLIPKILLA, none of them here that night
