Each song is fresh, inspired by a heartbeat, a soul, and has a life of its own. 

A story to be lived. Tara Kye was raised in a family who loved to play music, sing, party, laugh and  share moments with those they loved. Some of her best memories were of her singing around the campfire while her Grampa played banjo or guitar.  Her father challenged her the most. One year during a family  vacation, 

her father suggested that she go sit on one of the rocks and  just play her sax. 

At that moment, she learned how to improvise, create,  and enjoy!

That one crazy memory liberated me…

At  the age of 24, recently graduated from university and engaged to be  married, Tara Kye was diagnosed with cancer. Her life had been  irreversibly altered.

Everything went black, I cried ‘til my soul bled. 

My dream wedding and wedding dress – cancelled.

As  part of the “soul healing” section of her treatment, she rekindled her 

love of alto-saxophone in which she had played since the age of 14. 

Tara Kye also completed operatic natural voice training under Gary Zellers 

(The Queen of Spades, Semiramide, Un Ballo in Maschera, La Buona Figliola) 

who was a member of the Vancouver Opera where he shared the stage with 

Joan Sutherland on many occasions during his musical career.

This experience inspired her to start writing songs, and in enters John Dean 

(Artist, Writer, Musician, Producer and Engineer). They first met 30  years ago 

at a piano store, where her parents had purchased a digital  piano as her 

wedding present, which started their writing collaboration.  

His Classical piano training and experience has gifted John with 

delicious melodies, harmonies, and rhythms.Her albums 

Rock n The Country and World 'n' Latin Vibes has 

brought her International acclamation and recognition.

Tara Kye’s songs like Forever One hit the UK’s iTunes top 40, Become the 

Phoenix spent 12 weeks in the Georgia Songbirds top 10 with 6 of those 

weeks being number one and Bitterly Cold was voted best love song of 

2022 on Indie Radio USA and two of her albums were released on all 

platforms @TaraKye. Tara Kye has recently opened her catalogue to work with 

Artist and Producers, Jenny DuHaime (JDP3)  and Fear Escape 

on some new world beat acoustic songs such as “Paris”.
