O.N.E The Duo, consisting of Tekitha and Prana Supreme, daughter of hip hop legend and Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA, is a captivating mother-daughter country music duo who share a passion for extraordinary music. Their philosophy and approach to life and songwriting are encapsulated in the acronym O.N.E, representing "observant, noetic, effervescent." Their music is a harmonious fusion of country, hip hop, soul, R&B, and jazz that defies traditional genre limitations and offers their own unique country sound with a twist. As a result of purposefully pushing musical boundaries, their music represents their multicultural upbringing, transcends labels, and resonates with diverse audiences.
Prana's exposure to music from birth, nurtured by Tekitha's creative sessions and encouragement, shaped her artistic identity. This led her to approach her mom with the idea of singing and writing songs together professionally. Tekitha, an accomplished artist herself, initially hesitated, concerned about how that decision would affect her daughter and their relationship. However, perseverance and transparent communication ultimately birthed O.N.E The Duo. They relocated to Nashville in 2016 where they found a relatable and music-focused community, and their sound gradually morphed into an Americana folky vibe that organically led them into the country music landscape. Collaborating with esteemed songwriters, they crafted heartfelt and fun songs that connected generations and diverse experiences. They see themselves as catalysts for change in the industry, honoring its legacy while embracing future possibilities. Heard in their music and witnessed in their lifestyle, they spread a message of love and aim to inspire healthy relationships, raise awareness about children's well-being, and emphasize the importance of education, diet, and exercise for youth.
The Duo’s highly anticipated debut album, Blood Harmony (Aug. 2023), captures the pair’s profound affinity for storytelling — the connective tissue between their hip hop roots and country music.
