How Bria and Tamar Met Prince.... Did anyone else notice the similarities between Bria and Tamar's story of how they met Prince?
I recall reading that Tamar went to Paisley Park as a teen and recorded a song for Prince, but did not actually meet him while she was there. She then hooked up with him years later in LA at one of his parties. If I am not mistaken, I could have sworn that it was said that Prince heard about her through Morris Hayes. Tamar talked about their meeting on MTV's You Hear It First http://www.mtv.com/news/yhif/tamar/ http://www.mtv.com/videos...id=1536593 When she was about 14, Prince heard Támar (pronounced "Tay-mar") sing, and told her that "one day," when she was older, he wanted to hear her again. A few years later, Prince called her into his Paisley Park studio. "He overheard a tape of mine and I got a chance to go to Paisley Park and I got a big tour [of the premises]," she said. Nothing transpired from that visit, nor did she get to meet with Prince, so Támar went about doing her own thing, graduating from Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, and then studying music business at University of Southern California, all while focusing on her musical career. In the clip she says Prince heard a tape of hers through her cousin. I wonder if Morris is the cousin she refers to in the clip. Bria said in the PBS interview that Prince heard about her through Morris Hayes and that she was invited to Paisley Park as a teenager. A chance encounter in LA years later reconnected them. On another note, there seems to be a pattern with Prince and teenage girls. [Edited 4/29/09 19:36pm] | |

I thought it was interesting that Morris introduced both girls to Prince. perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

For the record, Prince is not gay, he does not like teenage girls and he is not a racist against dark skinned women....
Morris Hayes, worked with Bria in 1997 she was over 21... OK, also Morris did not meet Ms. Tamar I'm sure until 2004 or so... Morris Hayes, is a very close friend to Prince and I'm sure a very trusted friend by now... Prince, is a very Steller type gentleman.. I heard from beautiful lady who worked also with Morris in the late 1990's Life is but a dream... Brenda put forth an effort to succeed and she did in her world. We all like for are dreams to come true. | |

She said that at that time M orris took her to PP and that's when she met Prince the first time. So was she lying? [Edited 4/30/09 3:35am] | |

Kept Woman's lyrics was changed in Bria's version : "Eye was only 17 when he saw me/ The apple of my daddy's eyes"
Támar's version : "Eye was only 16 when he saw me/ The apple of my daddy's eyes" You know lyrics never lie   | |

Morris wears a few hats... not just a keyboard player. "He's a musician's musician..." |

Hmmm... 
I found it interesting that Bria stated that she met Prince through Morris Hayes as well. I sometimes follow Nikki Jean's Myspace. She is an artist from Minneapolis, very pretty and newly signed to Sony. Morris Hayes is in her top friends. I recall in one of her blogs she was explaining who was in her top friends and why. She mentioned that Morris Hayes was a friend who used to sneak her into Paisley Park to see concerts when she was under aged. So, when I heard how Bria was brought to Prince, via the same method, I wondered if that was part of Morris' job...to bring in new talent. | |

Támar's version : "Eye was only 16 when he saw me/ The apple of my daddy's eyes" You know lyrics never lie How old is Bria anyway now? Right now Mayte should be 35 and Mani 32 is Bria much younger then they are? It sounds strange to think of Mayte as 35; in my head she is eternally 23. Anyway not since Kim B, who was older than he, have I heard of him dating anyone his own age. He seems to like to "mentor" his women in as many ways as he can. The older he gets the younger they stay. That's not unusual. Think Mick Jagger, Bill Joel, Rod Stewart - he's just following suitl Got to keep up the reputation. | |
