Tasha Baron

About the Artist

Tasha Baron plays and composes on keyboards, trombone, flute and computers in an aspiration to get what is inside of her head outside of it for the enjoyment of others.  She grew up playing classical and jazz piano, composing free improv music, playing flute in woodwind choir, studying South African Township music and playing trombone in jazz combos and concert orchestras.  Her original music projects include Black Blondie, This Debris with Toki Wright, Sound System Sabotage and Heiruspecs.  Baron has played and recorded with artists such as Atmosphere, P.O.S./Doomtree, Michael Bland, Jef Lee Johnson, Robert Robinson and Kill the Vultures.  She debuted Dizzy Fae and composed film scores with co-producer Marc Rice and released an album “Laughing at Ghosts” with Sarah White.  Most recently she has recorded and performed with Charlie Parr and Southside Desire.  Baron loves teaching music in many contexts from private lessons to group hip hop and jazz classes.  Her vision and direction with music is all about artistic honesty, positive social change, community collaboration and pushing creative boundaries.
