ThaGataNegrra is an alternative hip-hop artist,
alternative model, and actress. GATA, as a hip-hop artist, specializes in innovative lyrics, cleverly twisted metaphors and a funky start-stop delivery that nails the listener from the word go. Raised on a steady diet of hip-hop in its young stages, GATA began her own rhyme odyssey as a teen. She has since evolved into an eclectic style that runs the gamut from danceable ear candy to mind-searing aggression. Her distinct flow, catlike persona, and penchant for the odd not only earned GATA her feline namesake, but made her a force that is undeniable.
GATA has been described as a manga-anime character of the hip-hop spectrum; her sound was once described as "the bastard child of Hello Kitty and Eminem" and "what-if Lady GaGa was an mc". Her influences are rich and varied: they range from Run-DMC, LL Cool J, De La Soul, and the Beastie Boys, to Prince, Digital Underground, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. She has been showcased at Code of tha Cuts: Project B-Girl at Vans Warped Tour, and the Newark Festival of People, among other venues. GATA can be heard on recording artist Demi's single "Ride It (Sore Ni Notte)". She possesses a strong work ethic infused with a sense of playfulness, and strives for perfection.
Though ThaGataNegrra's forays into acting have spanned small roles in several genres so far, it was her hardcore-from-childhood love for indie horror that took over with a vengeance. She loves nothing better than to be all gored up with everywhere to go, and this also extends into her side musical project, the horror/anime/geekcore band Final Grrl.
