CareerVega provided vocals for the Pop Rox album The Warriors, with Duke Mushroom and the FreshMaka, the duo responsible for remixes like Sisqo's "Thong Song" and DMX's "Party up in Here". Then Vega released her debut album in 2000, Diamonds and Monsters. Vega co-wrote each of the songs. Vega takes on topics including self-esteem and child molestation. Music icon Carole King helped with the songwriting and provided backup vocals on "Rooftops". Other titles on the album include "Goodbye Girl" and "Be Ya Self" plus "Shine On."[2] "Be Ya Self" is a girl-empowering anthem; "Diamonds and Monsters" is a song about abuse. The "monsters" in the title refer to the animals from the classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are ("I think of them as really fun as opposed to scary," says Tarsha) and the "diamonds" are a metaphor for her own character. "Diamonds are very, very hard-although they're beautiful," she explained. "I have this kind of hard shell, but at the same time my mother managed to round me out into having a beautiful mind, spirit and soul."[3] "Be Ya Self" is featured on the soundtrack for the movie, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Tarsha was featured as writer and performer on the Summer Catch soundtrack with the song, "What It Beez Like". Vega collaborated with rapper Chubb Rock on the song "The Freshest" off the soundtrack for the film Thirteen starring Holly Hunter.{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} As of 2011, Vega was serving as Executive Producer and Host for "theKNU", an Internet-based radio show on GVBradio.com.{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} She appeared in the films Get A Grip and Fugitive Hunter.
