Tekitha Washington is a Wu-Tang Clan affiliated female vocalist. She was the Wu-Tang Clan's in-house singer (previously filled by Blue Raspberry) for the album Wu-Tang Forever, on which she also performed a solo track titled "Second Coming". She also filled in for the unavailable Mary J. Blige in the video for Ghostface Killah's "All That I Got Is You".
Initially signed to RZA's Razor Sharp Records and then to Ghostface's Starks Enterprise, Tekitha continued to make guest appearances on Wu-Tang projects such as Raekwon's The Lex Diamond Story and has also collaborated with non-Wu artists including KRS-One and Armand Van Helden. While usually heard singing, her rapping can be heard on Cappadonna's "Pump Your Fist" and RZA's "Mantis".
In 2002, Tekitha released the single "You" produced by RZA. This track had to be included on her planned debut album Wisdom Body, originally scheduled for release in 2004. The album was eventually shelved.
Tekitha released her debut solo six songs EP The Prelude in 2010. The Prelude featured all new original songs by Tekitha, with production from RZA, Armand Van Helden, Bdotforealla of The Ahficionados and Jeff Jones/Joneszilla. The project was executive produced by Tekitha, RZA and Jeff Jones under her new label Wisdom Body Entertainment distributed by Sony/The Orchard.
Tekitha released a collaborative album Week Of The Phoenix in 2022, produced by Moroccan singer-songwriter-producer Ahmed Soultan. [citation needed]
