Tara Napoli

I am a woman who once was a little girl, confused and traumatized by the losses and realities that became known to me early on in life. I searched for meaning, and found that music had meaning and the power to connect us all to a place of love, peace, sadness, pain, anger, union, and so forth.



I learned to first sing with my father at the age of 2. He was a songwriter, and I was intrigued as a child to feel such a beautiful expression. By the age of 5, I sang in the church choir and continued through grade school. We always had a piano in the house, so I'd sit down and make sounds. After my father passed, we struggled financially, so we couldn't afford lessons. I just made stuff up.



Once I became a teenager, I started to write everyday in a journal. This made writing lyrics that were honest, natural for me. By the age of 18, I was approached by a producer, and he wanted to record me. I'll never forget the first song that I wrote, "This Lifetime Of Memories", came out of me in one take. I'm not saying it was a brilliant song or even good, it just was that thing that I felt I had been missing in my life. The lyrics and melody seemed as if they had a life of their own. At that moment, I knew that music was mystical and magical and that I wanted to make music. And so, I began my journey as a singer/songwriter.
I have written and recorded over 300 songs and have 4 albums. I have performed on the streets busking, at dingy bars to more upscale venues across the states from CA to NY.
