The Artist

TAM's biological name is Tamarin Moelans. Everyone calls her TAM, so that's her stage name too. (short and sweet) She sees music as a gift from God and a vehicle to reach and speak to people.

TAM'S music is happy and melancholy, zooty, thought-provoking at times, beaty, melodic and fun, and always with a thread of love woven into it.

TAM has been performing her songs in venues around South Africa for fourteen years, her base being in Cape Town. She has had the privilege of playing a Belgium tour in 2007, where her music was well received. It is her dream and goal to write songs for other artists, both male and female, in the industry as well.

"I want to work with producers who can take my songs to different places. I know that I have written a good one when different producers can take the same song to a different place."

As long as music is played and sung with soul, she is drawn to it. Some favourite artists in her collection include: India Arie, Carol King, Dave Matthews Band, U2 and Tracy Chapman Her main role model is Dianne Warren. "Dianne Warren quietly works behind the scenes making amazing hit songs. Most of the time, the singer takes the credit, but Dianne writes the hit songs. I love her humility. It inspires me."
