The child of Ethiopian immigrants who made music a central part of his life from an early age, Tad Worku comes by his musical talents naturally. In 2012 he was poised for a successful career in the music industry, regularly headlining at Yoshi’s in San Francisco and on the brink of signing a touring contract for his band. But that contract came with a catch – he would have to agree not to write about religion in his songs. So, Tad chose a different path, returning to school for a nursing degree and a life of service to the community. Tad’s music defies genre categorization, incorporating elements of many different musical styles. His songs explore his personal journey to find meaning and purpose both in his musical career and his service to the community.
