Taral’s Professional Career and Rise to Stardom

Taral Hicks has made a very successful career in singing as well as acting.

Her acting career began in 1993, when she appeared alongside Robert De Niro in the popular film, “A Bronx Tale.” She would later on make appearances in films such as “Simply Cause” alongside Laurence Fishburne and Sean Connery in 1995, “Educating Matt Waters” in 1996, and “Preachers Wife” (1997) in which she featured with Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington.

The audience took notice and loved her 1997’s “Subway Stories”, which was an HBO Original Film – Taral’s performance as “The Woman With Flowers” who sang on the payphone to her mother was ranked as one of her best works ever.

The next year was also a great success to Taral, as she appeared in “Belly” as DMX’s girlfriend, Kisha to play her most significant role since her debut; her video of “Silly” appeared in the scenes of the film. After this film was released, Taral was absent from music and film until she made her next appearance in 2000’s “Are You Cinderella?” short film alongside actor Wood Harris. Later on, she had two TV guest roles: the 2003’s “The New Math” episode of the “Soul Food: The Series”, and “100 Centre Street” of 2002 in the episode “Fathers.”

Taral made appearances in freelance films such as “The Salon” (2005) together with Darrin Henson and Vivica A. Fox, “Forbidden Fruits” of 2006 alongside R&B artist Keith Sweat and Fredro Starr, 2007’s “Humenetorny” and the “Ex$pendable” of 2008. Taral’s music career has also been a success, having signed deals with several popular studios such as Motown Records (1995) which she worked very closely with to release an album called “This Time”, currently out of print.

Her recording contract at Motown was terminated shortly after the firing of its then-president, Harrell, and the relocation of its corporate headquarters to New York City. Her single that was written, produced by, and featuring Missy Elliott entitled “Ooh, Ooh Baby” was one of her best works, and even appeared on R&B singles chart’s Billboard. Hicks’ lead single which was to debut her music career was an up-tempo track entitled “Distant Lover” produced by T. Riley. However, the album didn’t take off until the release of the second single “Silly,” which was D. Williams’ classic R&B remake.

Over her career as a singer, Taral has made appearances in several plays such as “Mama I Want to Sing” on Broadway, in which she assumed a singing role that had previously been assigned to her elder sister, D’Atra, a few years previously – this was her first-ever appearance.
