The actress, singer, and storyteller behind IAmTanieka is carving a lane all her own.
There are artists who perform, and then there are artists who are called. Tanieka Clarke — known to her growing fanbase as IAmTanieka — is unmistakably the latter.
Born in Miami, Florida to a mother from Kingston, Jamaica and a father from Georgetown, Guyana, Tanieka was practically raised in the spotlight. Whether it was the school choir, theater productions, dance class, modeling, or performance camps, the stage found her early — and she never looked back.
Her formal acting career began with an impressive launch: an off-Broadway showcase that counted among its alumni names like Megan Fox, Ser’Darius Blain (Jumanji), Ben Davies, and TC Stallings (War Room). In that company, Tanieka didn’t just hold her own — she stood out, emerging as one of only two finalists awarded in the Best Actress category.
She’s since built a body of film work that’s reaching audiences everywhere. Her most recent screen credits include Bae Night and Just My Type, both streaming now on Amazon Prime, Google Play, and Tubi — putting her face in front of viewers across platforms and around the world.
But film is only half the story. Tanieka is also a singer and songwriter, releasing music that carries the same emotional authenticity that defines her acting. Her singles “SUITS” and “WONDER WOMAN” — both with official video releases — signal an artist who brings swagger, purpose, and power to everything she touches. Her music is available on all major streaming platforms, and the audience is listening.
What sets Tanieka apart isn’t just talent — it’s intention. She’s a businesswoman, a wellness advocate, a lover of fashion and travel, and a woman of deep faith. Her personal motto, “Change first begins in me,” speaks to a philosophy that runs through everything she does: storytelling as a vehicle for healing, for inspiration, for transformation.
With a philanthropy arm in development through the Must Believe Foundation and a career that spans screen and studio, IamTanieka is building something rare — a brand with a soul.
IAmTanieka. Remember the name.
