Jonathan Tambe I love making music and creating visuals and emotions with the music I create. No better feeling than having a complete stranger enjoy something you made from silence. My music has been featured on Television for FOX in both the United States and in countries such as Brazil, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada. Music from my movie catalog recently earned a placement in the short film Over Exposure. Earlier this year I started my production company TAMBE Productions which features talented producers. composers, singers, and songrwriters from all over the world. The vision of my company is to be in every market ranging from Film/TV/Advertising/Video Games/Radio. Currently I am the #1 Global Instrumental artist on Reverbnation.com What type of band/artist are you? I am an Instrumental Artist. There are many different titles I have been given such as producer and composer but I would generalize myself as an Instrumental Artist. Tell us the brief history of your band. I ‘m from New York originally and my early beginnings consisted of making beats and participating in beat battles throughout the Tri-State area of NY including Manhattan and Staten Island. As my buzz grew I wanted to expand my sound and not be known as a just a beat maker but a serious instrumental artist/ musician and producer. I started studying music and getting piano lessons from a classical pianist and began to evolve my sound. My diligence and hard work paid off as my music was selected to be featured on Television. FOX played my music nationally as well internationally in countries such as Brazil, Canada, United Kingdom, and Mexico. I later started my own production company and signed singers, songwriters, producers and composers throughout the world. My vision was to have musicians united who all shared the same passion for music as myself. Furthermore, the vision of my production company would be to have our music featured in Film/TV/Video Games/Advertising/Radio. In addition music from my movie Catalog was featured in the Short Film Over Exposure. When did you start making music? 8 years ago How would you describe your music for the public audi68 Independent Artist Magazine www.indieartmag.com ence if they never seen you before? I would describe my music as passionate, emotional, and universal music. When you hear my music you can feel the emotion and sense the passion. I take my craft very seriously and try to connect with the listener no matter if the music is emotional, fun, energetic, intense or sad. Do you feel like you have changed your style from since you first started making music? I definitely changed my style! When I first started I had a very aggressive vibe to most of my music. I listened to all types of music but at the very beginning I definitely was catering to more hardcore hip hop. However, now you can get a universal approach when you listen to my music and my music crosses several genres. Who are your musical and non-musical influences? Honestly this is a tough question because I listen all types of music. In addition, everything influences me with music, I can hear an artist on Pandora or be listen-
