INTERVIEW
By Trenz Pruca
One of the hardest working vocalists, song writer and gay icons
known to man Tara McDonald is almost ready to unleash her
debut album, but this won’t have been the first time you’ve heard
her steel-like vocals. Remember the Armand Van Helden hit
MY MY MY back in 2005? - Yes that’s her! Remember the
Axwell stonker FEEL THE VIBE? - Yes that’s her! David
Guetta’s DELIRIOUS? Yep that’s her too! Gay boys I present…
Tara, performing at Prides around the UK in 2014.
Sooooooo Tara, since our last interview, what
have you been up to?
It’s been a crazy year, lots of touring, finishing my album
(which will be released this year on Mercury/Universal),
writing songs for other artists and continuing to work on
my radio show called "I Like This Beat". The radio show
is now weekly on Gaydio radio every Sunday at 9pm in
the UK and every Friday on JemmOne Radio. It’s also
now weekly in over 50 countries and on 56 FM stations
worldwide and still growing! I'm actually going to call my
album "I Like This Beat" too.
Oh and I also now have a cute little dog, she's a miniature
Schnauzer called Annie and she's featured in my new
music video.
Tell us a little more about your single Shooting
Star! Some of it’s in French…. Ooooo la la!
That’s right I've made a duet with the French Canadian
singer Zaho called "Shooting Star" it’s now in the top 15
on French radio and I'm here in Paris today on
