T.I. and Tiny‘s daughter Heiress Harris already has quite the voice at her age, and she completely wowed the crowd at a recent event when she took the stage for an impromptu performance.
The nearly eight-year-old was present at singer Annie Tracey’s listening session for her new project ACT II a few weeks back. Apparently having been able to have an early listen, Heiress learned a lot of the songs – and was able to perform one for the crowd.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday (February 7), Tracey shared a video of the impressive moment.
“Words cannot express how much this moment meant to me,” Tracey said in her caption. “She has been riding with me for so long and so has her amazing family. @majorgirl @tip thank you… Grateful is an understatement.”

She continued: “I love you @heiressdharris! I’m your biggest fan! thank you from the bottom of my heart for always supporting me & lifting me up,” she added.”I’m so honored that you love my music.”

Following in her parents and siblings’ musical footsteps, Heiress made her radio debut with her holiday single “What Does Christmas Mean To You?” in December.
Proud papa T.I. recorded the moment as Atlanta’s DJ Greg Street premiered the song on V103.

At one point, Tip panned the camera to his son Major and said, “Ayyy that was your little sister on the radio! How you feel big brother?” to which Major replied, “Proud!”
“[salute emoji] @DJGregStreet just played my baby girl @heiressdharris for the 1st time ever on da radio ‘What Does Christmas Mean To You’ on @V103Atlanta #ProudPops,” he wrote in the caption.

While she’s just about a month shy of turning eight, coming from talents like her mom and dad, it’s not too much of a surprise she has the vocal chops that she does.
However, T.I. has admitted that he “never wanted” his children to become entertainers – despite a number of them following in his footsteps.
In an interview on Arian Simone’s Fearlessly Living podcast, the “What You Know” rapper said he believes the world needs more Black people in worthwhile professions to help cure society’s ills.
“I never really wanted them involved,” he said. “I just know how much treachery, how much betrayal and how much of the dark side that exists in this, and I never wanted to expose them to that.

“I wanted one of my kids to dive into real estate. Also I think it’s not enough lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects … coming from our households. We got a thousand rappers, producers, DJs, models, actors — not that there’s anything wrong with any of this.
“But for us to evolve the way that I envision us evolving, I just feel like we need more Thurgood Marshalls, we need more Ben Crumps. We need more than just entertainment. We can’t just entertain our way out of the slump that we’re in.”
