Info
When people ask Tanya 'What do you do?', she says 'I'm a poet'. This gets a wide variety of responses, but mostly just 'oh'. She also says 'I'm a musician', which leads to such inevitable questions as 'What kind of music do you play?'. That's where things get hard to explain...
She writes songs in the loosely-defined alt-folk category, although also has tendencies towards well-arranged pop music and genres that get people dancing. Songs of love, life, work, and art. Songs with refreshingly candid lyrics, poetic and exposing. She's a relative newcomer on the Atlantic music scene, although she's been performing for years; that's where the 'poet' part comes in.

Writing and performing spoken word style poetry since 2000, Tanya's performed up and down the west coast and throughout the Maritimes. She placed first in the PEI portion of the 2005 CBC Poetry Faceoff and went on to place 3rd in the country. Of her poetry people say, 'engaging, unique, accessible and yet interesting use of language'; of her delivery they say, 'rhythmic, with great cadence and good timing'; of her presence as a performer they say 'genuine and magnetic.'
