TITANIA (pronounced: tih – tan – yuh)

 

1.    Giant (origin Greek)

2.    Medieval English folklore and A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, the queen of fairies and the wife of Oberon

3.    A person of exceptional importance and reputation; person or thing of great size, power, influence, or achievement (derived from Titan)

In Greek Mythology, the Titans were members of the second order of divine deities. With the word Titan meaning “one that is gigantic in size or power : one that stands out for greatness of achievement one of great strength,” their name was definitely appropriate; as is the name of one of Washington DC's newest vocal talents: Titania “Tiny” Adams.

The name “Titania” is Greek and means giant (derived from Titan) but don't confuse her nickname with her first name. Titania is not so “tiny” in regards to her sound, personality and legendary future.

Born in Kankakee, Illinois, about an hour south of Chicago, Tiny grew up with a love for music and discovered her voice after hearing Mariah Carey's 1990 hit, “Vision of Love.” Combining her love of music with her long time fascination with living on the east coast, in 1998, Tiny packed up her Ford Probe and took the 11 hour drive alone from Kankakee to Washington D.C.

After moving to the DMV Area, Tiny has since been featured in commercials, a hair show and music videos for local companies and artists as well as open mics and was an online video host interviewing indie artists. A few of the highlights of her career include working with Grammy Award winning producer Vudu Spellz and sharing the stage with “The God-Father of Go-Go” himself, legendary Chuck Brown and Sugar Bear of E.U. (Titania is the new female vocalist for Sugar Bear and E.U.)

As her highly anticipated debut album is in the works, Tiny continues to perform weekly at numerous venues in DC as the lead female vocalist for DA'Aftermath Band. Her new single “Fire Charmer” is a breath of fresh air for R&B, and like a true Titan, Titania is determined to leave a legacy that is written in the meaning of her name.
