Tara Lily

400 fans

Growing up in Peckham as part of a British Bengali family has given Tara Lily a unique perspective on music and global culture. She has spent her life absorbing a multitude of sounds and genres from her surroundings, ranging from electronica to jazz and R'n'B, to traditional Bengali folk music; from training at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music, where she studied jazz piano and voice, to learning Indian classical music.

It was this intriguing blend of sounds and her deep understanding of the worlds they come from which caught the attention of the likes of Virgil Abloh, Gilles Peterson, Iggy Pop, Jamie Cullum and Motown Records UK, who signed Tara as their first British artist. Tara is a musical anomaly.
