Tianna Esperanza

As the 22-year-old rising star unveils their debut masterpiece "Terror", Tianna is geared to create a movement fueled by honest and authentic music that will stand the test of time.


On the project’s title track, Tianna sings in great detail about so much of what they have experienced, with all of the peaks and valleys. From the grief of losing their sibling to the tragedy of sexual assault, they go the distance with their art—something that many are too hesitant to accomplish.

Other tracks like “Princess Slit and the Raincoat Prince” showcase Tianna’s knack for slick songwriting, even while tongue in cheek, as they display their own vocal versatility. The title and punk-leaning production are an homage to their grandmother, Palmolive (Paloma) McLardy, as part of The Slits and their mentors in another legendary Punk band, The Raincoats. “I wanted to do a little bit of a tribute to my grandmother’s music and her legacy,” they explain, “but also something that felt like my own.” Tianna carries that momentum into “Three Straight Bitches From Hell,” where their storytelling remains front and center. With a soulful edge and a Punk attitude, the project is full of personality and self-actualization, from an artist who knows exactly who they are, while still evolving into whom they will become.

It’s through their masterful wordplay, their range of vocals, and carefully selected production, that their introduction is geared to be strong and impactful.
