She was raised by her late father, Bishop Fritz Cobbs, and her mother, Bertha Cobbs.

As a child, she began going to the church her father founded, “New Life Ministries,” where her father was the lead Bishop. In her late teens, she became a leading member and led worship.

Her mother often listened to gospel and country music in the home, which significantly influenced her taste and interest in music.

In addition, she was a part of the church choir from a young age, which led her to pursue a career as a professional American gospel singer.

This decision would be the beginning of her professional gospel music career.

When the tour concluded, she began leading the worship at the rDream Center Church, in addition to managing the Worship and Arts department.

Following her long-term experience as a church choir member, Tasha was ready to take her musical talent professionally.

Cobbs had built a reputable brand and started booking tours and interviews by this point.

Amid her busy schedule, she was also working on a third debut album which she planned on releasing the following year.

On August 25, 2017, her album titled “Heart. Passion. Pursuit.” was released.

This album was slightly different from her previous two because it featured well-known American worship leaders.

The album did so well that it reached chart-topping sales and immense radio success across the nation.

She surprised her fans on this album with a special duet, which added an element of pop flavor.

The song “I’m Getting Ready,” ft. Nicki Minaj brought in over 4.6 million views on YouTube and millions of downloads on SoundCloud and Spotify. The collaboration was unique to her style, but her fan’s feedback was nothing short of positive.

In an interview, she explained how she and Nicki crossed paths, which is astonishing being that they’re from contrasting sides of the music industry.

“Nicki and I have a relationship. About four years ago, I did a celebration of gospel BT, and Nicki sent out a Tweet saying, ‘hey, who is Tasha Cobbs? Your ministry just really blessed me.’ And then fast forward about a year and a half later, literally about once a month, Nicki was on my Instagram liking pictures. And so finally, she sends me a message in my DM, and she says, in case you haven’t noticed, I am in love with your ministry. I responded to her and told her ‘thank you,’ and from that moment on, about a month later, she reached out to me and asked if it was okay if I have your number. And from then on, we would text each other.”

The relationship grew from there, and the collaboration was a natural development of their love and passion for music, gospel, and God.

Despite her statement that her fourth album would be delayed to an unforeseen date, Tasha released her fourth debut album, on September 25, 2020.

The album is unique as it also includes the live-streaming of the recording at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. It’s a big album with 17 songs and nine videos. Tasha co-wrote almost all songs on the album and took the lead on instruments on some singles.

On January 27, 2023, Cobbs released the performance video for “Under My Feet (Praise Break).”
