"A master of the ballad"- Julian Joseph BBC Radio 2

Growing up in Northern Alberta, Canada with a great-grandfather who played the banjo and fiddle, Tammy was already singing at the tender age of three. But by the time she approached her 20s music had taken a back seat.

Then tragedy struck with the sudden death of her mother. The trauma of her mother’s passing made Tammy reconnect with music and in June 2000 she released her debut album.

Dedicated to her mum, ‘Legacy’ was internationally received and led to appearances on national and international TV and radio, as well as gigs at the Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver Jazz Festivals and venues all over Europe.

Now based in the UK, Tammy has been heard on Radio stations across the country, including Jamie Cullum’s show on BBC Radio 2, Jenni Murray’s Woman’s Hour on BBC Radio 4 and Robert Elms BBC Radio London to name but a few. In 2010 she was nominated for London Jazz Vocalist of the Year.
