Tara Hawbaker is an American singer-songwriter whose musical journey began with a deep foundation in classical vocal performance and has evolved into a distinctly personal approach to songwriting and storytelling.

Born in Illinois and raised in the Kansas City area, Tara studied and performed in both opera and theatre before earning a degree in Vocal Performance. During her undergraduate years, she competed in and won classical singing competitions, establishing the powerful vocal foundation that continues to shape her work today.

While Tara went on to build a successful career in business communications and personal consulting—including serving as Women’s Division Manager for Mark Shale in Atlanta—music never left her. Over the years, she has performed for international corporate conventions, led worship for mega churches in Colorado, and continued exploring the intersection of voice, songwriting, and personal experience.

For Tara, music is more than performance. Creating, writing, and singing are a way of processing life, finding meaning, and connecting with others. Her songs draw from real experiences and emotions, offering listeners her own version of what she describes as “life therapy through music.”

Tara released her first EP in 2013 and has continued to grow as an independent artist and collaborative musician. Today, she is working with Nashville producers Nico Perez and Aaron Wagner as she expands her songwriting and production experience and sets her sights on the world of TV and film.

Her latest releases, including “Bury It Down,” “She Wore Black,” and “Breathe,” showcase an artist continuing to find her voice while inviting listeners into her story. Tara’s music is available on all major digital platforms.
