Tallis

I’m a professional singer, guitarist and songwriter with a lifelong passion for live music and performance. Music has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by guitars, songwriting and live performance, and from an early age I knew it was something I wanted to pursue seriously. I wrote my first original song at 14, and by 17 I was already performing live regularly. Those early experiences gave me a real love for connecting with people through music, and that is still at the heart of every performance I give today. I went on to study Music Performance at college before completing an HNC, which helped me develop both technically and creatively as a musician. As well as performing, I also worked as a music instructor at Newcastle College, supporting others in building their skills and confidence in music. That experience deepened my own understanding of performance and strengthened the professionalism, adaptability and care I bring to every booking. Over the years, I’ve performed hundreds of live gigs in a wide range of settings, from intimate venues and acoustic sessions to private events and special occasions. My experience spans live covers, original music and tailored performances for all kinds of audiences. One of the standout moments in my musical journey was supporting Newton Faulkner in Bath, which remains a real highlight and a valuable part of my live performance experience. What I love most about performing is the ability to shape the music around the atmosphere of an event. I offer the flexibility to move between stripped-back acoustic performances with guitar and more upbeat live sets using high-quality backing tracks, depending on the style and energy you’re looking for. Whether I’m performing a heartfelt song for a walk down the aisle, providing a relaxed acoustic set for a drinks reception, or bringing more energy to a party or celebration, my aim is always to create the right mood and make each performance feel personal to the occasion. Songwriting is still a big part of who I am as an artist, and I think that naturally influences the way I approach every song I perform. Even when I’m singing well-known covers, I care about connection, emotion and telling the story of a song in a way that feels genuine and memorable. I want people to feel something when they listen, whether that is joy, nostalgia, excitement or simply the feeling that the music perfectly fits the moment. When you book me, you’re booking more than live vocals. You’re booking years of experience, versatility, musicality and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments through music. I pride myself on being warm, professional and easy to work with, and I always want each performance to feel polished, personal and completely suited to the event. Whether you’re looking for elegant live music for a wedding, an intimate acoustic set, or an upbeat performance to lift the room, I’ll always bring heart, experience and a love of live performance to every occasion.
