Ta Mi Ko

Christian recording artist Ta Mi Ko is a California native who has also lived in Germany and France. She’s also an author. Her book, “The Word: There Is No Other Way,” describes her story and the series of life-changing events that happened to her.

Here is my interview with Ta Mi Ko.

Otiko: Why Christian/gospel music and not secular music?
Ta Mi Ko: Father asked me to spread the Word. I was then led to writing poetry that HE put music to.

Otiko: Isn’t secular music more profitable?
Ta Mi Ko: I never looked at my music that way. My music is guided by Father. Regardless of your reward here on earth, there is no comparison to the reward in heaven for following Father’s message.

Otiko: Who is your favorite artist and how have they influenced you?Ta Mi Ko: I cannot say I have a favorite artist. I enjoy a wide variety of music. I enjoy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Harvey Fuqua, Wilson Pickett, and 2 Pac…. I am very lucky, Father directs my moves.

Otiko: What is your favorite album or song?
Ta Mi Ko: Lol…. just to point out a few goodies. I enjoy a wide variety of music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart “Sonata №10 in C Major, K 330,” Harvey Fuqua “I Knew From The Start,” Wilson Pickett “I Found A Love” and 2 Pac…
