Tara Lily hosted a guest show on 4 April 2024. Tara Lily has been played on NTS shows including P-rallel, with Who Saw Who first played on 16 September 2018.

Growing up in Peckham, as part of a British-Bengali family has given Tara Lily a unique perspective on music and global culture. She has spent her life absorbing a multitude of sounds and genres from her surroundings, ranging from electronica to jazz and RnB to traditional Bengali folk music.

From training at the Trinity Laban conservatoire of music (where she studied Jazz piano and voice), to learning Indian classical music and being the first act signed to Motown Records UK. Tara is a musical anomaly. For her recent project, ‘Last Flight Out’, Tara Lily takes listeners on a journey around the globe. “It’s about movement, freedom, travel, immigration and love.

Tara fuses together elements of jazz, Alt RnB, Indian classical, dance and much more. From bringing in her uncle to play tabla to recording sitar and jazz saxophone at Unwound Studios, Tara has worked in unique ways to bring her vision to life. It was this intriguing blend of sounds and her deep understanding of the worlds they come from which caught the attention of the likes of Virgil Abloh, Gilles Peterson, Iggy Pop and Talvin Singh. Tara has continued to further her musical explorations and delve deeper into her South Asian heritage.

Whether it is musically or visually, Tara Lily is continually creating something distinctive and personal. A rich and provocative musical education, as well as a celebration of strength, power, and talent. Her first album ‘Speak In The Dark’ will be released Summer 2024 with Tru Thoughts records.
