We had the good fortune of connecting with Taz Tikoon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taz, what role has risk played in your life or career?
No risk, No Reward! I believe taking risks is where your faith is tested! I pray for discernment so that I can take more calculated risks. The more I’m connected to Allah, the stronger my faith is to take risks. Taking risks made me become more fearless; and I’ve been blessed with some amazing opportunities!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My name is Taz Tikoon. I’m from VA…..where they say it’s something in the water. I’m most proud of launching my water company Tidewater; to pay homage to my hood Tidemill, Hampton Va. I’m extremely excited to share my new music and projects! I got to where I am today because I’m extremely focused & I don’t make excuses; I make results! I. also made countless sacrifices to invest in myself and my art. No it wasn’t easy & I’m not really a fan of anything easy. I overcame my challenges by focusing on one thing at a time and challenging myself to develop new skills. One of the lessons I learned is the power of emotional intelligence and atomic habits. I want the world to know Taz Tikoon’s music and brand.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
