Tanja Tzarovska

Originally from Macedonia,TANJA TZAROVSKA has a voice to die for and a knack for crafting meaningful, witty and touching lyrics. A major female song-writing talent with a touch of South East European spice and the maturity of Tanja’s very own special style. In the words of Hollywood composer John Debney “Tanja is one of the most unique and gifted singers I’ve ever worked with. Her vocal performances on my score for “The Passion …of the Christ” are etched in my mind as simply said: “remarkable…” Featured also in films Troy, One Giant Leap, and Mothers, and even Sony Playstation’s ‘Lair’, you’ve probably already heard her voice without knowing it. This is a rare chance to see her perform songs from her new album with her six-piece band. The CD ‘No Record Of Wrong’ is released on the same day through Cadiz Music. Find her at http://www.facebook.com/TanjaTzarovska

Support come from TESS, an up-and-coming male singer-songwriter from Kent whose album ‘Magpie’ is also distributed by Cadiz Music, (www.tessnotes.com) and Arhai, an electro-Balkan folk project featuring Adrian Lever (guitar and tambura) from forward-thinking folk act Horses Brawl and Serbian singer Jovana Backovic (vocals and electonics).

Tanja Tzarovska

Tanja Tzarovska is a singer, song-writer and composer. Macedonian by birth, she now has homes in the UK and Macedonia. She’s described by her fans as “the girl with the angelic voice”, but she also writes original, beautifully crafted songs in English as well as singing traditional songs in her own language, specialising in Balkan and Byzantine harmonic styles.

Her voice and arrangements can be heard in the Academy award-winning score by composer James Horner (‘Avatar’, ‘Titanic’) for Wolfgang Petersen’s ‘Troy’, including the end titles duet with Josh Groban (produced by the legendary David Foster) and in the original score by the Academy award-winning composer Gabriel Yared (‘The English Patient’) for ‘Troy’, for which she also coached and led the choir. She was the featured vocalist in Academy award-nominee John Debney’s score for Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ’ and also collaborated with the same composer on his soundtrack for Sony Playstation’s ‘Lair’.

She appeared in ‘One Giant Leap’, the ground-breaking music/philosophy documentary film by Jamie Catto (Faithless) and Duncan Bridgeman. Tanja has recently contributed vocals to the score for director Milcho Manchevski’s new film ‘Mothers’ which will be released in October 2010 as well as Microsoft’s Bafta award-winning computer game ‘Fable III’. She has recorded in many of the major film scoring studios, including Abbey Road and Air Lyndhurst in London and TODD.A.O. in Los Angeles.

As a singer, Tanja has worked and performed with Zohar, the group led by composer Erran Baron Cohen.

In her song-writing Tanja often combines Macedonian traditional melodies with her original contemporary English lyrics. She has just completed ‘No Record Of Wrong’ her first album of original songs and covers which she wrote and produced. ‘No Record Of Wrong’ will be released in the UK in February 2011. The digital album will be available on all major download platforms from 6th December 2010.
