Barbara Tucker once said she never intended to sing; she imagined becoming a teacher or a flight attendant. The detour became a career that never stopped at the microphone. Tucker is a Brooklyn-born vocalist, dancer, choreographer, promoter and label owner whose early recording credits include Harlequin Four’s 1985 version of Set It Off. She became closely associated with Strictly Rhythm through Deep Inside, Beautiful People, I Get Lifted and Jazz It Up. In 1992, Tucker co-founded Underground Network, a New York party that combined DJs with live performers, dance troupes and fashion shows; Louie Vega later became its resident DJ. Her studio credits include work with Blaze, Masters At Work, Danny Tenaglia and Erick Morillo, while B Star extended her community-building role into label work. The 2026 release I Jus Wanna Love, issued by BStar with mixes from Emmaculate and DJ Q, shows a catalogue still moving between full-bodied songcraft and the house floor.
