The Original Juicy Fruit Tawatha Agee’s Is Back!!!

We all remember the hit song Juicy Fruit that has been remade numerous times. Well, I had the chance to speak with her to see whats new and what ha been going on in Ms. Tawatha Agee’s life. Let’s see what she has been up to and how it all began for her.

Did you ever think that singing in your choir and playing the piano would have led you to Juicy Fruit?

Tawatha Agee: No *lol*. I was like 13 years old and I enjoyed playing. I had no idea that one could make money from singing. I played in my church choir and I was 13 it was a while back. I just enjoyed doing what I was doing. What got me to Juicy Fruit and continuing to this day. Life was an adventure. I use to like to read and I would read about people all over the world and I was like it would be great if I could do what they are doing as far as singers. I use to read the information on albums, that was a dream that I would one day do something like that. I never thought that playing in my church choir would lead to Juicy Fruit.

You have a song that the young and old know and love thanks to the mix done by New York’s own Biggie and Diddy. Do you feel that they did your song justice?

TA: Yes I was very pleased. It was introduced to a whole new audience. So the next generation got to hear. Juicy is one of the songs that will not go away. The song is timeless. I hope someone does it very soon so that it can be presented to the next generation. Your grandmother knows it, your mother knows it, you know it, your kids know it. That is like the perfect gift. The gift to keep on giving.
