There has always been music in the air. Tanya grew up around songwriters and watched them in their creative process writing songs in the creative sanctuary, that was her father’s art studio.

He has recorded numerous albums of his own, and recorded with many other great songwriters such as Nanci Griffith.
These songwriters seemed to have a message to convey, and it was powerfully inspiring. Around 20 years of age Tanya began to play guitar and write songs. Up until this point she was only writing lyrical ideas and melodies acapella. This had always been a way for her to express her experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Now she was finding a new voice.
