The trio, hailing from New York City, were discovered when they sang at a Sweet Sixteen party in an East Harlem church in 1984. Record producer Joey Gardner, who was at the party, was impressed with the group, and got the group signed to Tommy Boy Records. The group originally consisted of Tony, Kayel, and Ralph "Aby" Cruz, but eventually Aby was replaced by Raymond "Pito" "Angel" Vasquez (although not widely known, India was also one of the original members). Their first single was "One Way Love" which was a major hit among the Latin club community in New York, and followed up with many other hits, such as "Scars Of Love", "Tears May Fall", and "Come Get My Love."
The year, 1991 proved to be a very critical year for TKA, and for many Freestyle performers as well. TKA released their most important singles in 1991, "Louder Than Love", "Give Your Love To Me", and their House hit "Crash (Let's Have Some Fun)." Despite being very popular and very influential to the Freestyle genre, Tommy Boy requested that the band switch to pop instead of Freestyle. Rather than sacrifice their artistic integrity, the group released one more single, "Maria", which ironically proved to be their biggest hit, and then split up.
1988 album-cover for Scars of Love.Following the split, the members of TKA went on to pursue independent interests. Kayel recorded under the name K7 and had a hit Hip Hop record Swing Batta Swing which contained the lead hit single, "Come Baby Come." Tony started a successful production company in New York, and Angel joined the R&B group Goodfellas.
TKA reunited in 2001 and recorded the album Forever. The actual drop date for that album was November 6, 2001. Of the 12 songs contained on that album, only one was actually released as a single which was the smooth, House music song, "Feel The Music". The albums' promotion failures led to its poor success. Angel left the group afterwards and was replaced by popular Freestyle singer George Lamond. After the making of the anticipated album labeled 'TKA Featuring George Lamond' was completed, the group (along with George Lamond) decided to break up and go their own ways. The album was never released and only exists as demos that were given out to a few record companies. The name TKA still continues to live among its frontman K7, who performs the well known TKA hits in clubs throughout New York City. He also DJ's on New York's popular dance station 103.5 KTU. Though they've parted ways, they are still very popular in New York City, Chicago and Miami, and has had a sudden resurgence of popularity thanks to a recent Freestyle revival.
TKA were very notable for being heavily influential in the Freestyle genre, having presented an opportunity for many other Latino performers to create dance music. Among many Freestyle performers, TKA remain one of the most popular and influential, and its music are constant mainstays on Freestyle playlists.

I'm not as restless as I used to be
And there's so many things I want to do
But only with you
'Cause now that I found what I'm searching for
There's no need to look for love anymore
And this feeling I have is so deep inside
[Chorus]
That you, you're the one that I adore
You're the one my heart beats for
And there's no place I'd rather be
'Cause you are the one for me
Wherever I go
And whatever I may do
I'm overcome with all these thoughts of you
And I just love the way your making me feel
I know this is real
'Cause now you've become such a part of me
Not a hope or a dream but reality
And I won't try to hide, I'll just let it show
I think that its time you should know
[Chorus]
You're my one and only desire
You're the one who takes me higher
And there's no doubt you hold the key
'Cause you are the one for me
'Cause now that I found what I'm searching for
There's no need to look for love anymore
And this feeling I have is so deep inside
I know it can only be right

You're my one and only desire
You're the one who takes me higher
And there's no doubt you hold the key
'Cause you are the one for me
[Chorus]

Letra:
Últimamente, noté el cambio en mí
No estoy tan inquieto como solía ser
Y hay tantas cosas que quiero hacer
Pero solo contigo
Porque ahora que encontré lo que estoy buscando
Ya no hay necesidad de buscar el amor
Y este sentimiento que tengo está tan adentro
Sé que solo puede ser correcto
[Coro]
Que tu eres el que yo adoro
Tu el que mi corazón late por
Y no hay lugar, preferiría ser
Porque tú eres el indicado para mí
Donde quiera que vaya
Y lo que sea que pueda hacer
Estoy abrumado con todos estos pensamientos de ti
Y me encanta cómo me haces sentir
Sé que esto es real
Porque ahora te has convertido en parte de mí
No es una esperanza o un sueño, sino la realidad
Y no voy a tratar de esconderme, solo lo dejaré ver
Creo que es hora de que sepas
[Coro]
Que tu eres el que yo adoro
Tu el que mi corazón late por
Y no hay lugar, preferiría ser
Porque tú eres el indicado para mí
Eres mi único deseo
Tú eres quien me lleva más alto
Y sin duda tienes la llave
Porque tú eres el indicado para mí
Porque ahora que encontré lo que estoy buscando
Ya no hay necesidad de buscar el amor
Y este sentimiento que tengo está tan adentro
Sé que solo puede ser correcto
