Tamara's family has deep Caribbean roots and her childhood was filled with music. Her mom was the musical director at church and Tamara's first rite of passage was her own solo at 6 years old. From then on, she was heavily involved in choir and went on to study opera at her performing arts high school and later a conservatory. Tamara struggled with representation as she was often the only black person in her productions, but ultimately chose to pursue her gift. She has earned success by singing background for the Zac Brown Band and recently performing with Lizzo, but comes to "The Voice" looking for her chance at stardom.
