Tamarie T and thee Elektra Kumpany

Neworleansmusicians.com Podcast

His brand of funk is something he lives and breathes, and his showmanship is like no other. Originally from the south side of Chicago in a town called Inglewood, Tamarie T grew up fixated on superstars like James Brown and Prince. Performing has been in his blood as far back as he can remember. And he's followed his passion doing whatever it took to remain in its light; at times, even living in a storage unit to make music his life. In this episode, we find him in a transitional phase, being new to this city, and in the process of moving himself and his band down to the big easy. He talks about his life up to this point, recalling both the good times and the bad. But he exudes honesty and passion throughout in this remarkably candid interview.
