[edit] Career
Tayo Reed started entertaining as a singer at Six Flags Over Georgia, performing in the Shake, Rattle, & Soul Show. She was then chosen to be a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons and a dancer for the Atlanta Hawks. Tayo was then given a rare opportunity to work as a dancer with the "Godfather of Soul" James Brown. Brown once heard Tayo sing and encouraged her to focus on a singing career.
In 1997, Tayo joined WCW’s Nitro Girls as Nitro Girl Tayo, only staying with them through May of 1998. Though her term as a Nitro Girl was short, Tayo had the distinction to being one of the original Nitro Girls and the first African-American Nitro Girl.
Tayo is now a country music performer who has fulfilled her dream by performing in Nashville Tennessee. Tayo also opened Tayo Reed's International Academy of Dance in Riverdale, Georgia.
