R&B singer Tiara Thomas is making waves in the genre from her feature on Wale’s “Bad” to her upcoming EP Dear Sallie Mae. The Indianapolis-native’s vocals are as unique as her guitar strumming, and her acoustic renditions of original tracks are just as impressive. Check out this list of her top mellow performances.

There’s no limit to where Tiara will whip out her guitar as she provides the commuters on the street of Manhattan with a remix to Rick Ross’ “9 Piece.” The original, with its hard-hitting bass, meets a more angelic sound with Thomas’ change-up.
