Tarsha Vega (born April 26, 1972) is an American recording artist, occasional actress, and internet personality.
[1] Vega provided vocals for the Pop Rox album The Warriors, with Duke Mushroom and the FreshMaka, the duo responsible for remixes like Sisqo's "Thong Song" and DMX's "Party Up".
The "monsters" in the title refer to the animals from the classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are ("I think of them as really fun as opposed to scary," says Tarsha) and the "diamonds" are a metaphor for her own character.
Vega collaborated with rapper Chubb Rock on the song "The Freshest" off the soundtrack for the film Thirteen starring Holly Hunter.
[citation needed] As of 2011, Vega was serving as Executive Producer and Host for "theKNU", an Internet-based radio show on GVBradio.com.
