Tasia is an actor and vocalist from Seattle, Washington who currently resides in New York City. She attended Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA for Theater and Music. While there, she starred in many stage productions and was awarded with the John Riatt Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Performing Arts.
She spent the next few years traveling the world performing with Norwegian Cruise Lines and Universal Studios Japan as a principle vocalist. She then made the decision she wanted to get back to what she loved the most: theater, and packed her bags for New York. She began working as a vocalist for one of the most sought after NYC entertainment companies, Hank Lane, as well as modeling for brands like Revlon, Carol’s Daughter, and Urban Decay. Tasia's career is just beginning, and with all the grit, passion, and eagerness to learn, there is no slowing her down. She will be making her television debut this fall on AppleTV's WeCrashed. You can also catch her on the Broadway Stage at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in Moulin Rouge. When not on stage, Tasia can be found spending time with her cat Momo, practicing yoga, binging on Netflix and Podcasts, or obsessively finding new ways to organize and decorate her apartment.
