Independent Artist Group (IAG) has added Naturi Naughton, the actress, singer, and producer celebrated for her pivotal role in the Power franchise, to its esteemed roster of talent.
Known for her commanding portrayal of Tasha St. Patrick in Starz’s hit series Power and its sequel Power Book II: Ghost, Naughton joins a lineup that already includes franchise heavyweights such as 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Michael Rainey Jr., Joseph Sikora, and Mekai Curtis.
Naughton’s character, Tasha, a shrewd and resourceful partner in her husband Ghost’s drug empire, earned her two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
With the conclusion of Power Book II: Ghost’s fourth season this October, Naughton remains a defining figure in the crime drama genre.
Beyond the Power universe, Naughton’s illustrious career spans multiple platforms. On television, she’s appeared in critically acclaimed shows like Mad Men, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Queens.
In film, she gained acclaim for her portrayal of Lil’ Kim in Notorious and starred in projects like Fame, Lottery Ticket, and the political thriller 88.
Naughton’s journey began in music, rising to fame as a member of the Platinum-selling girl group 3LW, which sold 1.3 million albums. She later took her talents to Broadway, where she played Lil Inez in the Tony Award-winning musical Hairspray for three years.
Recently, Naughton has expanded her creative footprint by stepping behind the camera as a director and executive producer.
Her indie drama Color Book has made waves in the festival circuit, winning the Critics Award at the Deauville Festival and the Jury Award for Best Feature at the Austin Film Festival after its Tribeca Festival premiere.
As Naughton joins IAG, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see what’s next for this multi-talented powerhouse who continues to break barriers and redefine success in entertainment.
