Tami T (born 1987), formerly known as Tami Tamaki, is a Swedish singer songwriter, record producer, and DJ whose work spans electronic, dance-pop, and avant-pop.
Life
[edit]Tami T was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, and was part of punk bands as a teenager. She began producing her own music at the age of 18, and upon moving to Leipzig, Germany in 2013 she started making "glitter electronica" under the name Tami Tamaki.[1] Her breakthrough came when the song I Never Loved This Hard This Fast Before was featured in Ester Martin Bergsmark's 2014 film Something Must Break.[2] Her music also appeared on the Norwegian TV series Skam.
She began using the artist name Tami T in March 2016, and she is now based in Berlin.[3][1] Her debut album High Pitched and Moist was released in 2019 on the label Trannytone Records.[4] When asked about the heavily processed vocals on the album in an interview for the zine FEM, she explained that "by pitching [their voice] up an octave and auto-tuning it, it became a voice I could identify with and an instrument I wanted to work with".[5] In 2017, she co-produced the song "A Part of Us" on Fever Ray's album Plunge and toured with them.[6]
She aims to blur and redefine the lines of gender and gender identity with her music and art.[7][8][1]
