Tara’s intention is to amplify artists and uplift the crowds that engage with her sets on dance floors throughout NYC.  Tara spins a collage of soulful sounds that acknowledge the past while looking to the future and celebrating the now. Tara produces mixes and hosts misc. on The Lot Radio in Brooklyn and UpBeat on Soho Radio in London, blending music that is both new and old, familiar and unknown, across eras, genres, and continents.

Tara is also an Urban Planner and as a lover of nightlife, has shaped her Urban Planning work to where she is able to advocate for nightlife as a vital cultural and community building tool for cities. She has worked with Vibe Lab, an international organization dedicated to nightlife, and contributed to their Global Nightlife Recovery Plan. As a member of Rare Form in New York City, she helped originate Donuts are Forever, an annual fundraiser/tribute to hip hop producer J. Dilla, as well as Makossa Brooklyn Cookout, a beloved Brooklyn summer party.

Having performed at diverse and unconventional venues around New York City and abroad, Tara is always eager to find new and exciting crowds to spin for. Early on in her career, Tara realized being a DJ is more than just playing a mix of records; it is a matter of building trust between herself and the crowd and sharing the knowledge and love the she has for the music and the feelings it projects onto the listeners. The crowd trusts Tara to become part of another great night in their lives, and she returns that favor by giving them a taste of the familiar as well as something new that may be something they have never realized was needed in their musical memory.
