"Not many people reduce me to tears, but Tammy's song about her mother was the most touching I've ever heard and her voice is beautiful’. - Jenni Murray BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour
"An engaging performer with a Peggy- Lee like sense of cool' - Clive Davis, the Times
“She’s the real deal” -Time Out London "Master of the ballad"- Julian Joseph BBC Radio 3
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. She dedicated her first album, Legacy, to her late Mother, which 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 Europe, Tammy has been heard on Radio and TV stations across the globe, 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, CBC, RTP, to name but a few. In 2010 she was nominated for London Jazz Vocalist of the Year and she had the pleasure of meeting Her Majesty the Queen.
Her second album, Where I Need to Be, was released in London to a sold-out crowd at the legendary Ronnie Scotts jazz club, and features collaborations with Grammy Award winner Terry Britten (Tina Turner), Tim Fraser (Lulu), and Tom Cawley (Peter Gabriel). The second track on the album, ‘Everyone but Me’ was covered by Erin Boheme (album produced by Michael Bublé) and was released in America in 2017. American Idol finalist Scott MacIntyre recorded a version of her song ‘Safe in my Arms’ which was also released in America in 2014.
She is currently living in Lisbon, Portugal where she released her third album, Soul Whisper, in 2024. The album is based on one of Portugal’s finest Poets, Fernando Pessoa and was produced by Portugal’s Godfather of Rock, Rui Veloso.
In 2025, she released ‘Home is on my Mind’ a tribute to Canadian Songwriters featuring Canadian Rock Legend Randy Bachman. The EP was produced by James Bryan ( Nelly Furtado, Drake) and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
