Rooted in artistry. Built for impact.

Rooted in gospel and classical tradition, Taraielle’s musical journey began with piano lessons as a child and quickly expanded into a deep love for woodwinds. By junior high, she was sharpening her skills on clarinet, and by high school, she’d added tenor sax and flute to her arsenal — thriving as a top ensemble player and earning spots in TMEA/UIL All-Region, All-Area, and All-City bands.

From pit orchestras for musicals like Guys and Dolls and Fiddler on the Roof to jazz band improvisation, she proved early on that musical versatility was her lane.

​

She went on to study music education at Kilgore College and UT Tyler, performing as a top chair player in wind ensembles and taking her talents abroad — first to Halifax, Nova Scotia on a mission tour, then across Italy with the TCU Festival of Winds Ensemble.

​

After college, Taraielle made Dallas home base and launched into the singer-songwriter circuit, performing acoustic R&B covers and originals under the name Ladi Indika at local venues like The Prophet Bar and White Diamonds. Her musical fluency soon led her to join The Kutt, a 7-piece original band where she played flute weekly at The Free Man, and later, to perform clarinet with the Frisco and McKinney bands.

​

She’s also toured nationally as part of the elite Jordan Kahn Orchestra, performing for high-profile private events from New York to California. Currently, Taraielle performs regularly with the funk-fueled King Booty Disco (Deep Ellum Arts Fest, NPR Tiny Desk Submission 2024/2025) and with Incubus tribute band Beware! Criminals — a collective of Dallas powerhouse musicians.

​

With over two decades of experience on stage, in studios, and behind the scenes, Taraielle brings musical depth, professionalism, and soul to every stage she steps on.
