She has sung on numerous occasions with The Stan Smith

The Columbus Jazz Orchestra in Spain and Denmark as their
featured vocalist to the delight of audiences at every
stop.
Tia

commercials, corporate videos and promotions; and has
recorded with internationally famed artist Kim Pensyl. She
has sung The National Anthem for opening games; and

In
2008, Tia decided to join the vocal group Vocal Impact,
and performed the concert series Big Band Meets Broadway
