When you first hear Tanicha Lopez, you don’t just listen — you feel. Her sound sits at the intersection of emotion and evolution, pulling from her Latin roots and infusing it with a new-age R&B pulse that defines the sound of Mandala.
Born and raised between cultures, Tanicha’s music carries the duality of tradition and rebellion. She grew up listening to her mother’s vinyl records — from Celia Cruz to Lauryn Hill — and those early influences now echo through her melodies. But it wasn’t until she began performing in small local lounges that her signature voice started to emerge: raw, powerful, yet gracefully restrained.
Tanicha joined Mandala in 2023, and since then, her career has taken a soulful leap forward. Her debut single, “Midnight Bloom,” captivated listeners with its dreamy harmonies and intimate storytelling. The song isn’t just about love; it’s about rediscovering self-worth, a recurring theme throughout her work.
Her upcoming EP promises to go deeper — mixing analog warmth with digital precision, lush harmonies with stripped-back honesty. It’s more than just music; it’s emotional architecture.
At Mandala, Tanicha represents what the label stands for — authenticity, courage, and connection. Her artistry reminds us that real music doesn’t chase trends; it defines them.
