Tamia Hill was well-known even before her marriage to NBA star Grant Hill. The Canadian-born songstress was discovered by Quincy Jones and had some memorable hits with “You Put a Move On My Heart,” “Stranger In My House,” “So Into You,” which rapper Fabulous gave new life to and her duet with Eric Benet “Spend My Life With You.” Her latest CD available now, “Beautiful Surprise” is her second as an independent artist and the single of the same name is already making noise. It’s a surprise in another respect – it’s the first time Tamia has ever made a video with her husband as her love interest. After 13 years of marriage, it’s about time. Tamia will appear at the Tom Joyner Family Reunion in Orlando, Florida and will sing her duet with Eric Benet during the vow renewal ceremony.

Black America Web also spoke with Tamia. Excerpt below:
BAW: With all the pop and hip-hop acts, R&B has been struggling for attention lately. How does it feel to put out a record in this musical climate?
Tamia: I feel blessed to be able to be in the business over 15 years. It’s a fickle business – always has been and always will be. I’ve seen a lot of artists come and go. So I feel very blessed to be here, and to be making music and having my fans support me.
