Later at the age of seven, she moved actually to LA with her mom  and two younger brothers, because her dad worked in LA and her parents had too much long distance flights and they decided moving all together to the world capitol of industry dancers. It was destiny for Tati, and she continued dancing in LA at "The Rage" dance complex. She was dreaming these days to get on TV shows, but had no thoughts about the process how to get there. Then she was discovered at the Rage by some managers and agents as talent and started first time doing an audition - for a Toyota Prius commercial. That's how her career started, because she ended up booking it and started learning about the industry process when she was eight and was very optimistic at that time. "Yeah, next audition and I'll get it!". But then she started realizing [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8PP86aSz50 "Your began a luck"] and not getting every audition. She deals with the lot of "No"-s by following the advice of her parents and is growing with the challenge. But she admits, it was hard for her at the beginning, when she was younger and didn't understand the reasons behind this and got sometimes envious seeing all her own friends had success too, while her own basket often stayed empty. She leaned to be happy for them, because there be always the next one and it will newer end, if you don't stop at all; especially with the hard working. In her opinion, the most challenging part about being a dancer, is keeping motivated in such a competitive atmosphere. The older she gets, the tougher it gets.

Her first hip-hop teacher was Will "WilldaBeast" Adams at the Rage and Will's first class too ... as teacher. So Tati and Will got historically very close together and Tati got one of the first members of IMMA and joined [http://www.immabeast.co/lilbeasts-1 first LilBeast], ImmaBeast's sub company for very young talents who became later all famous too. Tati stayed in touch with IMMA and now she is older generation of one of the most important dance companies in the world. ImmaBEAST is like a second family to her where everyone has the same interests and goals in mind. It’s a safe place to learn and grow together. At IMMA she met also first time also two her best friends [[Tahani Anderson]] and [[Kaycee Rice]] and formed the girl group "KayHaniTi". An innocent childhood friendship, who did kids stuff beyond dancing too, like setup a tend in a room and had a sleepover in it. So the besties got very close together. In the later years Tati kept more in touch with Tahani then with Kaycee. She also met first time another one of her best friends and permanent dancer partner - [[Gabe De Guzman]]. Still these days Gabe is considering Tati as little sister and have quite a history together when they toured together to Philippines, Dominican Republic and Columbia when Tati was somewhere between 13-15 and Gabe 15-17 years old .

IMMA and KayHaniTi brought Tati to fame, although she had herself never that breakthrough event in her career to get public eye to justify a wiki page like this for a minor, but now she is an adult and their are no legal obstacles to introduce the incredible young woman. She was on the first dance video of WilldaBeast and people started asking, who the baby girl on the video was, she is damn good too. KayHaniTi brought her to fame, because Kaycee got public eye two years before by Katy Perry's tweet and her fame and those many other prominent dancers draw attention to Tati as well and she was seen as part of the dance industry elite. Tati remembered from these days [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhdvrfxZAQ how happy everyone was]. They had no clue where all these film shots will bring them one day and just had a blast by dancing, because they loved it. - 'It gets filmed?! Cool!'- They didn't even thinking about social media when people pointed out 'you guys are very good for your age' and they stayed all humble. She feels that the next generation is much more competitive, because they get filmed for social media since their entire career. But when she has started there was no social media and their cared just about fun, friends and socializing; all stayed easy and want to keep it like this.
