ABOUT

Dark electropop LA-based artist TAY embodies the spirit of being self-made. Blending retrowave, electronic, and alternative, her music creates a soundscape from the future.

TAY grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, reading music practically by the time she could walk. A classically trained pianist and self-taught guitarist, she started writing songs from her bedroom in high school but kept private, using it as an outlet to express all her innermost thoughts & feelings. Her music tells stories, and she carried this love of storytelling with her into film school studying screenwriting & audio engineering at Chapman University. She sound designed countless student & indie films, landing a nomination for a Motion Picture Sound Editors Award in 2017. However, at every turn she kept gravitating back to the world of music. TAY worked as an engineer at a studio in downtown LA, becoming savvy in running recording sessions, editing, and producing. Combining this skillset with her expressive way with words, her artistry is a reflection of everything she has experienced both sonically and in life itself.
