It seems everyone is an "artist" with ambition these days, but there are only a few who prove it. 22-year-old Thais is one of them. Despite being trained as an actress, the Trinidadian native isn't putting on a show. Her desires, creativity, and talent are real. Armed with only a djembe she took to music by covering songs by a variety of artists, from Erykah Badu to Katy Perry. You may have thought you heard every rendition of "Teenage Dream" until you've seen Thais bang it out with a rhythmic twist no one else could have thought of.
While exploring her own talents as a songwriter, she remixed Childish Gambino's "So Fly" and managed to put the indie-rapper (and his production team) to shame. Her vocals are rich and intoxicating as she sings earnestly about that vulnerable moment of meeting someone so fly it makes you stumble on your words. The video of her performing the track in the studio debuted on her tumblr today, but you can check it out after the jump. Thais might be young, but she's hit the ground flying. Within a day of releasing the "So Fly" remix it was playing at Urban Outfitters in the D.M.V. area, the songstress's second home. There's no doubt that this is only the beginning. With such talent and heart, this star is already shooting; we just need to catch up.
