Timeka Marshall accepted an invitation to visit Trinidad and share her most recent work on The Basia Show with host Alicia Powell (a.k.a. Ms. Basia), before heading off to Jamaica (where she is based) to get back in the studio.

While on the show, Timeka spoke about her career goals and what she has been doing to develop as an artist since she came on the scene three years ago.

“What I really want to be known for is my voice. That is what we are pushing right now and so far it has been great”, shared Timeka.

Alicia asked Timeka to perform and she obliged with ‘It Doesn’t Matter’. She also took the opportunity to premiere her latest video ‘Feel Fah’ featuring Busy Signal.

Apart from Timeka’s music, the two women found a connection in breast cancer and the impact it has had on both their lives. Alicia is a breast cancer survivor and ardent supporter in the fight against the illness while Timeka has lost an aunt as well as a friend’s mother to the cancer. The singer performed a heartfelt accapella version of a self-penned song titled ‘One More Day’ which she wrote in memory of those she has lost to breast cancer.

Speaking to Timeka after the interview she stressed the need to keep breast cancer awareness in the foreground.

“We have to use our status in the public’s eye to continuously advocate about breast cancer and to get women in the habit of practicing breast self awareness. The earlier it can be detected the more likely it can be overcome”, noted Timeka.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the two women have forged a new link towards raising awareness in the fight against breast cancer. Alicia is hosting a Breast Cancer Drive on October 22 and Timeka has agreed to be one of the artistes taking part in this event. We look forward to hearing more about this show and Timeka’s alignment with breast cancer.
