This creative escapade is the result of a
partnership between Baxter and Andre Scheepers.
Scheepers, a gifted pianist and songwriter who has
worked with the likes of Merchandise and Black
Rabbit, collaborated with Baxter over a period of
almost a year to create Colour of Me. This talented
duo put together the demos which would later form
the album, working in Baxter’s dining room and other
unconventional spaces.
Tasha Baxter
Tasha is one of South Africa’s most forward-thinking
dance, trip-hop and drum ‘n bass innovators. Over
the past few years, she has developed a reputation
as a multi-talented artist who has lent her
songwriting and vocal skills to many high-profile
projects, albums and songs.
Her most notable vocal contribution was on Roger
Goode’s 2002 international dance hit, In The
Beginning. Tasha also provided vocals and
songwriting to four other tracks off Goode’s album
and this relationship continues to this day.
Tune into almost any pop radio station and you won’t
have to wait long before hearing Fade To Black.
The voice sounds familiar but you can’t quite place
it. Meet Tasha Baxter, the woman behind the song
and, in our opinion, soon to be an international
superstar – thanks to her recently launched debut
album, The Colour Of Me
Tasha Baxter
She has made a substantial impact on the Cape Town
and Johannesburg music scenes, working with the
likes of drum ‘n bass producers Counterstrike,
various house producers, and featuring on
Soulsista’s album. Her raft of corporate work
(composing tracks for commercials and more) is
equally impressive and she has performed alongside
some of the biggest names in the DJ world.
She was also the resident drum ‘n bass DJ at Trailer
Park in Melville for years and her continuing
passion for being behind the decks will see her play
in the Dutch city of Utrecht in early October

However, our best kept musical secret isn’t a secret
anymore as her debut album, The Colour Of Me, is now
on the shelves. The album is the result of a
partnership between Tasha, gifted pianist and
songwriter Andre Scheepers, and NOISIA, a Dutch
production team which was recently commissioned to
remix Robbie Williams’ King Of The Bongo.
February saw Tasha launch The Colour of Me to radio
and, to date, two singles have been released: Who’s
Sorry Now, which did exceptionally well, and Fade To
Black, with its catchy melody and clever lyrics that
are pushing the song further up the charts every
week. The Colour of Me was also released through all
of EMI’s European offices in April.
