Melbourne based melody maker Tamara Kuldin is all about bringing back the sass and sophistication of that vintage era of music with her own modern, sultry yet playful twist.

Enamoured by the romance and sophistication of the golden era of song, acclaimed Australian vocalist Tamara Kuldin has been captivating audiences from Melbourne to Europe with her own playful, sultry and heartfelt interpretation of songs from The Great American Songbook, French chanson classics to lesser known vintage jazz & blues gems.

A lover of storytelling through song, Tamara’s unique and versatile vocal styling has been inspired by a diverse palette of female vocalists such as Doris Day, Cassandra Wilson, Sarah Vaughan and Joni Mitchell. Her vivacity, warmth and vocal prowess has endeared her to some of the finest Australian and international jazz musicians from Kate Ceberano, Joe Chindamo to Wycliffe Gordon.

Tamara knows how to make an audience feel like they’re part of something special, whether singing up a festive storm in a glorious Italian piazza, fronting a jazz orchestra at the Arts Centre or playing one of Australia's intimate jazz clubs. Her natural affinity with audience's large and small has led to invitations to perform at various festivals and venues across the globe from the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Melbourne Recital Centre, The Victorian Arts Centre, Stonnington Jazz Festival, Melbourne Cabaret Festival, The Famous Spiegeltent, Birds Basement, MONA (Tas), Morning Melodies at Hamer Hall to Bergamo Jazz (Italy), Paris to Provence Festival, Lovere Back to Jazz Festival (Italy) and more.

Tamara collaborates with musicians on a multitude of projects including 'Nostalgique' which features a multilingual repertoire of song from Edith Piaf's torch songs to Russian folk melodies. It's a music box of European song from bolero, swing, tango, waltz to bossa, 'singing in all shades of jazz, blues and multilingual affairs of song.'

Tamara released her debut jazz album ‘Secret Love’ in 2015, celebrating her favourite tunes- sentimental and sassy- in a gorgeous bouquet of song, featuring gypsy jazz violinist Gerard Vandenbroucque (France).

Her evocative 2017 recording 'LOVE, LONGING AND LULLABIES' garnered wide airplay across Australia, New Zealand and Japan securing her distribution in Asia (available on iTunes/Amazon & bandcamp).

Her new album 'This May Only Be A Dream' released March 2020 features exquisite ensemble of Australia's finest jazz musician (Julien Wilson, Jon Delaney, Tamara Murphy, Nathan Slater, Sam Keevers, Danny Fischer, Steve Grant). Tamara delights in traversing a range of musical genres, which has led to the recording of this stunning collection of songs. Blending gorgeous swampy vintage swing with echoes of the deep south, to Argentinian tango, Tamara also debuts her intimate and evocative original tunes.

Miss her… and you’re missing out.
