Tali is an artist with a love for all types of music and a passion for exploring these different sides of herself. She is also the gutsy woman who mced her way into one of Britain’s hottest, and toughest dance scenes, taking on a male only music genre. Since then she has toured the world several times, released her first album "Lyric on my Lip" (Full Cycle UK-2004), Do it for yourself an independent promo CD, (unsigned-2006) and is currently living in London working on her new project. Originally from a farm in New Zealand, Tali grew up listening to Hip Hop, Soul and Rock music and wrote songs and lyrics from as early as age ten - her goal to take her music to the world. Tali became immersed in the world of Drum and Bass around 1996 where she first heard DJ Krust’s remix of 'Maintain' and became instantly hooked on the music. As a natural born performer and lyricist it seemed only natural she became NZs most prolific DnB MC of the time. It was while mcing in Melbourne, Aus, Tali went to a gig of her favourite producer Roni Size and after meeting him at the after show party and busting some impressive lyrics in his ear, Tali was invited to the UK to work with the legendary producer and his crew. Three months later Tali arrived in the UK turning up on Size’s doorstep with several notebooks full of lyrics and a hunger to record. Impressed by her obvious dedication and enthusiasm, Tali became a fully fledged member of the crew and set about touring the globe MCing and finding time to record her acclaimed album "Lyric on my Lip". After 4 years of recording, touring, singing with her live band and MCing, Tali felt as a songwriter first and foremost, she wanted to try something different and decided to go back to her roots of writing over slower, more Hip Hop, Soul and accoustic orientated beats showing her versatility and talent for lyrics. The result has been Tali's latest project, an independent promo mix CD Do it for yourself; Featuring Sincere, Mr Ti2bs, Dynamite MC and Blak Twang, with production from First Man, and of course Roni Size. This slice of urban soul is where Tali's vocal and lyrical talents really shine, with the CD containing the popular acoustic version of 50 Cents '21 Questions' as performed on Radio 1 DJ – Jo Whiley's 'Live lounge' (BBC), plus a bonus 10 minute DnB mix of Tali classics, as mixed by DJ Bailey (BBC 1XTRA). Since the release of this CD Tali has worked on other projects with UK Hip Hop MCs Blak Twang, Mr Ti2bs and SkinnyMan, and written and recorded guest vocals for DnB producers Bailey, DrumSound and BasslineSmith and US DnB producer Atlantic Soul. When she’s not recording vocals, Tali is topline writing for other vocalists, and composing and producing television and commerical soundbeds.
