Taya Chani is a singer, guitarist and songwriter born and raised in Sydney, Australia.
A soul singer who travels easily through many genres… she loves every destination within her musical landscape.
A chameleon Queen – fermented in the richness of Blues, infused with Americana, Country and Soul, spiced with Funk and R’N’B, with a love for Jazz. She was also raised with an ever present influence of Pop and Rock’n’Roll.
With a soul soothing voice, Taya delivers a genuine and comforting presence that will dig deep. She is also a solid, dynamic and rhythmic guitar player.
Her solo shows are intimate and raw which reveals a soft vulnerability leading you to believe that Taya is singing directly to you.
The story changes altogether when Taya fronts a full lineup of musicians. Her showmanship and strength in dynamically leading a band shines through, whilst her powerful yet silky pipes are the highlight of the show.
Playing shows in venues and bars all over Sydney, while accumulating an enviable network of well sort after musicians in Australia, she has appeared at several music festivals within NSW and interstate.
She is equally as comfortable in the shoes of backing vocalist and session musician.
In her travels to the southern states of America she has found the true homeland of the music in her heart, particularly New Orleans, Nashville, Texas, Mississippi and Memphis.
Taya always returns to her native Australia, with a stronger goal, greater drive and overflowing with inspiration to write and create more of her own music.
