Three powerhouse vocalists are teaming up to form a new musical group known as TDK.

R&B singers Tamia, Deborah Cox and Kelly Price are recording a joint CD titled “The Queen Project.”  The R&B divas also will support the CD by going a tour next year. 

The project will be similar to LSG which consisted of solo R&B male singers Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill.

Tamia is Quincy Jones’ former protege.  Her hit songs include “You Put A Move On My Hear,” “So Into You” and “Stranger In My House.”  In 1999, she married NBA player Grant Hill.  In 2003, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Cox came to the music scene in 1998 with her hit song “Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here.”  The song spent 14 weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B Charts.

Price’s hit songs included “Friend Of Mine” and “As We Lay.”  She also sang with Whitney Houston on the popular song “Heartbreak Hotel.”  She was also a background singer for Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Brian McKnight and SWV.
