Tanya (Little Mouse), Singer/Songwriter/Producer Born in Washington State, lived a Navy brat life that was cut short, and ended up in Virginia. I’d always embraced growth but didn’t notice how stagnant I’d become until I realized I had forgotten that I embraced it in the first place. It is easy to lose yourself and forget what is important. Music has always been a part of me, but until my eyes were opened in so many ways, I couldn’t possibly have given it the attention it requires. I won a local singing contest in middle school, timidly went on to a state competition and walked away with a second-place ribbon. I was the highest soprano getting A’s in art and music but had no clue I could do something with it. Singing remained a hobby and I didn’t find my voice until I started writing songs. I've been plunking around on the piano since I was little. With two years of classical training and all my easy-play books, I became reliant on sheet music. I had no idea I could create music until a friend prompted me to just try. Whatever your age, find your passion, dig down to something you enjoyed as a child, and just start doing it again! This album has been a work in progress over the past three years since I began writing my first song “Surrender/Sun Rays” (Track 7) on notation paper. Vocals, piano, and any other sounds were created from my home studio on my digital upright Roland captured by my iMac or my Playstation Logitech microphone (Imogen Heap style). The beauty of this release is that I did it…countless hours of reading, research, shopping, practicing, playing, creating, tweaking, life, sadness, and happiness culminate into this self-produced debut CD. I hope you enjoy my music! Let me know...I really want to hear from you!
