When it comes to the music, Tameka Nichole began her music interest at the early age of 5 when her grandmother, Lillie Balmer moved her to the country town of Jackson, NC, after leaving the big city of Norfolk, VA, where all of her leisure time was dedicated simply to radio and beauty. Growing up on 103 Jamz (102.9fm WOWi) and FOXY (104.3fm/107.1fm) Tameka Nichole waited by the radio every night at 8 pm every night for any World Premiers and just to record the latest songs on her Just For Me cassette tapes that came free in her hair relaxer making a way to continuously hear her favorite songs while doing something in beauty, whether it was nails or hair, she fed her desire for both.

Tameka Nichole went on to attend North Carolina Central University where she stumbled into the pleasures of music, while walking the halls of the Farrison-Newton Communications building during the first week of her freshman year, causing her to change her major from her initial interest in from computers to Mass Communications with a concentration in Broadcast Media, and minoring in business.
