Buy NowA fusion of garage's shuffle, R&B's silk, and Hip Hop's grit. Honoring where garage came from while staying true to her own journey.
Raised on North West London pirate radio. DJ Ragga D, MC Ganja, and Black Vinyl Crew running the airwaves every Friday night.
Worked with Wu-Tang affiliates, Mary J. Blige collaborators, and Q-Beats in Miami. That polish now flavors her garage productions.
A music tech college dropout who's lived and breathed the underground since the days when Lush FM ruled North West London. Tova's journey began in '98 as a teenager scribbling "woz ere 9E8" on schoolbooks, Reebok Classics laced loose, Sony Walkman permanently on play.
"I was cassette-ready," she recalls. "Every Monday I had a new set for the bus ride to school." Too young for the clubs, weekends were spent in record shops, collecting flyers for Stush, Twice As Nice, One Night Stand.
After years producing R&B in the US with industry heavyweights, an old-school garage event changed everything. "It hit me—I'd made R&B, Hip Hop, everything else, but never garage. That was my roots. That was me." She went home, opened her DAW, and made her first garage track. "That's when I unleashed the inner child."
