Tamia Marilyn Washington Hill (born May 9, 1975) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer. Tamia was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario.
Her self-titled debut album was released in 1998 and was followed by a series of successful albums with Elektra Records, including A Nu Day (2000) and More (2004). Several songs from these albums became hit singles on the pop and R&B record charts, including “So Into You”, “Stranger in My House” and “Imagination”, as well as her collaborations “Into You”, “Missing You” and “Spend My Life with You”.

Tamia was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003. However, the illness has since been in remission, though she has occasional but controllable symptoms. She is an advocate for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) on behalf of others affected by the disease.
Tamia, along with Babyface, Portrait, and Barry White, received a second nomination for “Slow Jams”, the second single from a Quincy Jones’ album, which fared well on the charts, peaking at number two on the New Zealand Singles Chart, and received a third nod in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category for her performance on “Missing You”, a collaboration with singers Brandy, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan for the soundtrack of the 1996 motion picture, Set It Off. A top-thirty success on the US Billboard Hot 100, it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Quincy Jones enlisted the services of several producers to work on Tamia‘s debut self-titled album, including Jermaine Dupri, Tim & Bob, and Mario Winans, many of whom would become frequent producers on subsequent projects.
Released in April 2004, More was released to generally mixed reception from music critics and debuted and peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 and number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, with first-week sales of 71,000 copies, marking the highest-selling and highest-charting opening of Tamia‘s catalogue yet.
In support of More, Tamia was featured as a special guest on the Verizon Ladies First Tour, co-headlined by Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott, which became one of the biggest concert tours of the year. In 2005, More became Tamia‘s third consecutive album to earn a Juno Award nomination in the R&B/Soul Recording of the Year category.
Her discography includes nine albums (including seven studio albums, one extended play, and one compilation album), and twenty-six singles (including four as a featured artist and one charity single).
