O KNOW
I
was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, but I’ve lived in NC
as well. I don’t give out my
government name so please just
address me as Tamara Bubble.
Tamara is my name. Bubble was
given to me for so many reasons.
My personality is very bubbly.
I’m generally in a good mood and
always laughing and smiling. I
got the name bubble for physical
reasons too ... ahem ... I’m pretty
well rounded.
I’m giving my self 3 years to get
1 Grammy, 1 Oscar and 1 songwriter award. Short term and long
term I want to connect with and
build my fan-base. I feed off their
energy and support. It’s motivating. I enjoy meeting new people
and entertaining them, it doesn’t
even feel like work when you’re
have this much fun.
If I had only 3 words to describe
my sound, I’d say real, raw, and
undefined. If I had only 3 words to
describe my songwriting, I’d say
powerful, comical and sexy. I just
make music that’s real to me because that’s what people can relate
to. Music you can laugh to, cry to,
dance to, make babies to, all that
good stuff.
If I was not making music I
would have a career in accounting.
I took one class in high school
and it was easy so I majored in it
in college. I even passed my CPA
exam and got my license, but it
just wasn’t my calling. So here I
am with EPs under my belt and
Grammy within reach!
I got into the music industry
because of songwriting although I
www.MisfitTunes.com
have been singing in church since
I was old enough to remember
being in church. I was more focused on modeling and acting until
I met a producer at a photoshoot.
I sang for him and he asked if I
songwriter too? I said “I do now”
and I went home that night after
the photoshoot and wrote 10 songs
in 2 hours. I’ve been hooked ever
since.
I have a gospel background. I
grew up singing in church so I
definitely have a soulful sound/
influence. I love harmonies in my
music and it’s because I listened
to ALL the 90s R&B groups (male
and female): Brownstone, SWV,
En Vogue, 702, 112, Jodeci, Boyz
II Men. You name it I listened to
it. I attribute my rap influence to
Biggie Smalls, he’s the reason
that I respect lyricism in hip hop
and I love his storytelling and
flow. When it comes to Jazz,
Ella Fitzgerald is THE REASON
why I scat to this day. I still go on
youtube and listen to her voice. I
like Lena Horne too. Also, when
it comes to Pop and overall stage
performance, Michael Jackson
does it for me!
Michael Jackson holds two of my
top three albums of all times. My
top three are “Bad” by Michael
Jackson and “The Miseducation
of Lauryn Hill” by Lauryn Hill.
You know now I think about it I
actually don’t have a third all time
favorite ... maybe Thriller by Michael Jackson, but “BAD” is definitely my all time favorite album
ever ever ever! I really can’t even
explain why and shouldn’t have
to .. it’s Michael Jackson! I love
Lauryn Hill because she’s a singer,
rapper, musician and her content
was positive and she’s a female
