TALIA loved music from an early age. For as long as she can remember she would sing beside her father while he played the concertina, which is an instrument widely played in the Folk groups of Northern Portugal. Aged seven, her father takes her to an accordion shop and offers her an accordion of her very own. She is immediately smitten...
Growing up in London with Portuguese parents who both came from large traditional families, she would often find herself the centre of attention at big family gatherings playing her eclectic repertoire. Although fairly timid and described by her brother as “painfully shy”, with this jolly audience TALIA flourished in these happy moments, with aunties, uncles and cousins dancing and singing along. TALIA has always known the power of music and what it means to “light up a room”. She carries this positive intention with her today.
At a TALIA performance you hear every word and every word comes directly from the heart.
Audiences fall in love with her sound and are entranced by her magical presence.
With over a million views online, performances for both BBC Television and The Royal Shakespeare Company.
