This week (Sunday 13th Oct) it was my pleasure to welcome to the Phoenix fm studio and Sunday Lunch Show singer songwriter `Tara Priya’
Tara who is originates from San Francisco in the USA is over in the UK to write and record her new album, and release it with a major record label.
She has been described as;
Armed with a voice “you just need to hear” (BBC London) and an irresistible blend of snaps, claps, and golden trumpet peals, Tara Priya combines vintage soul, poetic lyrics, and a dash of pop to provide relief from today’s Auto-Tune avalanche. Sweet and sour, lovely and lovelorn, the retro-soul “jewel” (Access!) is a story as distinctive as her sound.
And I could not agree more!
Her parents, in true Berkeley-hippie fashion, raised her on The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Billie Holiday. The Persian mother and Indian father were delighted when, at four years of age, she began playing piano and writing poetry. Delight turned to dismay when, at nine, she eagerly followed in her brother’s footsteps and became addicted to Tupac, hip-hop, and playing the drums, but don`t let me tell you too much! take a listen to the full interview with Tara and the exclusive live tracks.
