Stunning Tara Priya is 'Rollin'

Born and raised in San Francisco, of Indian-Persian parentage, Tara combines vintage soul, poetic lyrics, and a dash of pop to provide relief from today’s Auto-Tune avalanche. While many compare her sound to Amy Winehouse or Sara Bareilles, Tara is a true original whose sound is unmatched.

The great-niece of the famed Middle Eastern poet, Sohrab Sepehri, Tara has art in her blood. Her journey to musical stardom started early – piano and poetry began at 4, drums at 9, opera training commenced at 11and her incredible jazz voice added in high school!

Within the US, Tara Priya has licensed some of her songs to Showtime, MTV, Oxygen, E!, and other television networks.  Her songs can be heard on “The Real L Word”, “Chloe & Lamar”, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, “Bad Girls Club”, “The Real World”, “Saddle Ranch”, “Married to Rock”, and other shows.

There is no doubt that Tara is a rising star, having already been recognised in the US, where she is busy collecting a host of accolades including being named one of The Deli Magazine’s Top 10 “Best Emerging Artists of 2010” and winning both the Great American Song Contest, and the Dallas Songwriters Contest. In March of this year, Tara achieved every new stars dream by winning the 18th Annual Billboard Song Contest.

“Tara Priya” receives physical & digital distribution throughout Japan. On May 28th, 2011, “Tara Priya” became the #2 bestselling Contemporary R&B album and the #20 bestselling Pop album on Amazon.com in Japan. Set to an incredibly catchy and upbeat jazz inspired tune featuring horns and saxophone, Tara’s smoky and sultry soulful voice is guaranteed to capture audience’s imaginations both in the UK and internationally.
