“I have two Grammys and one of them is for me writing on ‘Say My Name.’ I would love to be behind the scenes. I would love to develop talent… There’s a strong side of me that would love to just work on the entrepreneurial side of me being a mogul type of woman in this industry,” said LaTavia.
Like many other ‘80s and ‘90s artists, LaTavia said she also has to learn how to succeed in an industry that has seen a lot of changes since she first came on the scene.
“You can throw on a pair of underwear and some heels and fishnets and overnight you’re a star. I just came from a different era, so it does make me put up my guard as far as what my limits will be as far as me getting into the industry,” she said.
LaTavia recently shared with fans that she was molested as a child and struggled with alcoholism in later years. She’s dealt with a lot of her demons, but it’s little wonder she’s cautious about what’s next. The new mother said she has to make sure that she’s doing what is best for her and her family and that may mean taking things slow.
“There have been a lot of ups and downs in my life and I’m on a journey right now, finding my way back to which way I want to be in the music industry. There are a lot things about the music industry that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth,” she said. “I’ve not been in the spotlight and on the stage for over a decade now. So, I can’t just jump head first into something that would be that detrimental to my career. It’s not going to happen.”
LaTavia talks about joining “R&B Divas” and her upcoming book below. Listen.
