As I strolled down a snowy alleyway in NYC this past December, I heard an alluring, ethereal voice coming from an open boutique in Soho. This voice as I would come to find out was Saudi Arabian (and now LA resident) songwriter TamTam. A female artist dedicated to bridging the gap between the Middle East and the West with her unforgettable voice, powerful lyrics, and unconventional style. At age 13, Tamtam moved from her native country to California because her parents wanted their children to see the world through a different lens. Tamtam took the opportunity to channel her passion for music and upstart her career on youtube. After a quick discovery by Geena Davis among many, Tamtam has used her spotlight to inspire conversation and awareness around topics such as gender equality. Her latest EP single Blue, depicts the ever-changing “blues” in nature and how they depict vastness, unpredictability and melancholy, all of which she felt at the dissolve of her latest relationship.
