"What is the enigma that is EarthQueen? EarthQueen brings a fusion of rock, funk, jazz, blues, and soul to create a sound that is familiarly engaging, yet too original to compare with any former or current group."

Rolling Out Magazine

Magical, mystical, timeless, and raw are just a few of the adjectives used to describe the three-time Amateur Night at the Apollo winner known then as Tina Camara. At that time, the self-proclaimed cover-tune queen captured the hearts of the producers of the show, who invited her to be the opening act for the legendary George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars. The event was called the Classic and Future Legend Concert Series, which was held to raise money for the renovation of the Apollo Theater.

Bitten by the bug of the national music scene, Tina began her professional journey as a background vocalist for Underground Alternative Soul Artist Linni. During that time she found her niche--Funk Rock.

During a concert, a fan witnessed her live performance and made a comment about her earthy and soulful nature, and how her voice had the ability to heal, nurture, and touch people to the bone...which is much needed in these times of musical un-imagination. Thus, the title "EarthQueen" was spawned.

EarthQueen echoes the sounds of Mother's Finest, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Betty Davis and Parliament Funkadelic. She brings back to life the souls of Blues and Rock legends Bessie Smith, Chuck Berry, and Sly and the Family Stone. She recognizes that the legends of great musicians must live on, and has been charged to ensure that the world does not forget this important legacy. EarthQueen brings raw emotion and high energy to thumping bass lines, excruciating cosmic/galactic guitar, spiritual real life lyrics sitting in the seat of a serious pocket.

Drummer Stephanie "Ginger Rose" Dodson is a heavy hittin' sista who lays down the foundation; Bass extraordinaire Darryl "Cool Cat" Braxton, influenced by none other than Larry Graham, gives the bass guitar a serious beat down. Guitar Gods Phillip Taylor and Jimi Smalls (rock royalty in their own rights), join her in the mission to elevate souls and free the minds of the people.
