Taral Hicks (born September 21, 1974 in The Bronx, New York) is an actress and musician,
In 1997, Hicks signed a deal with Motown Records and released an album titled This Time. The single "Ooh, Ooh Baby", produced, written by, and featuring Missy Elliott, charted on the Billboard R&B singles chart. However, the lead single intended to debut her singing career was "Distant Lover", an uptempo track produced by Teddy Riley. The album did not take off until the second single, "Silly", a remake of the classic R&B hit by Deniece Williams, was released. Featuring a black-and-white video directed by Hype Williams, the single charted well on the R&B chart. After collaborating on the video for "Silly", Hype Williams cast Hicks as in his directorial film debut (and in her largest role to date), 1998's Belly, as Kisha, DMX's girlfriend. The video for "Silly" appeared in one of the film's scenes.
