Brooklyn born and bred artist Tamar-kali is a second generation musician with roots in the coastal Sea Islands of South Carolina. As a composer she has defied boundaries to craft her own unique alternative sound. The aggressive, melodic rock of her ‘five piece’ outfit enchants you with its melody while delivering a swift kick to the gut with its incisive emotional core. Her debut LP Black Bottom challenged the alt-rock norm. The pieces she composes and arranges for her string sextet and voice project, Psychochamber Ensemble, marries the classical music of her Catholic upbringing with post-punk sensibilities.
2017 marked her debut as a film score composer with her work on Dee Rees’s Academy Award-nominated winning her the World Soundtrack Academy’s Discovery of the Year Award. Subsequent film scores include the documentaries and Little Richard: I Am Everything and the features The Last Thing He Wanted directed by Dee Rees, by Josephine Decker, by Kitty Green and Palmer by Fisher Stevens.
Tamar-kali's opera We Hold These Truths premiered in 2022 for the LA Opera’s Digital Shorts programme and the gospel-and-blues-tinged chamber score for Bill T. Jones’s Watch Night premiered at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York in 2023.
