Miami-born singer-songwriter and creative director Tatiana Blades has spent more than fifteen years creating experiences built around one idea: connection.
As founder and Entertainment Director of AURA Entertainment — Tatiana has built a career bringing music, movement and performance together for hotels, brands, private clients, festivals and cultural events throughout South Florida and beyond. Her work spans creative direction, live entertainment, artist development and large-scale production—but her understanding of the stage comes from standing on it herself.
Dubbed “Rock Royalty” by Venice Magazine and previously featured on WSVN, Tatiana became known to South Florida audiences as the front-woman of alternative rock band The Collektives. In 2026, she stepped into a new chapter under her own name.
Her debut solo single, “That Night,” was released August 14, 2026. Written after the loss of friend Katie Kipnis to a drunk driver, the song transforms grief into a deeply personal meditation on loss, memory and the moments that permanently divide life into before and after.
The release marked the beginning of a remarkable first chapter. Miami New Times selected “That Night” for its September feature, 15 Songs by Miami Artists You Need to Hear This Month. In October, Tatiana became the cover feature of AQUA Miami, whose Going Her Own Way profile traced her path through music, dance, entrepreneurship and her return to songwriting.
“That Night” has also completed Recording Academy screening with confirmed placements in Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for the 69th Grammy Awards process.
For Tatiana, the through-line between creating a show and writing a song remains the same: make people feel something—and remind them they aren't experiencing it alone.
Her work also extends beyond entertainment through Paw Heart Society, an emerging animal-welfare nonprofit, alongside Paw Heart Food Co.
