The group's co-founder and producer David Schommer described her voice and singing as "a vital part of Bole2Harlem's sound.

"[3] Tigist died at the age of twenty-eight in Bahar Dar, Ethiopia, where she is said to have traveled on a pilgrimage shortly after she finished recording with Bole2Harlem circa January 2008.
