His single ‘Caught in the Wake’ was selected for NZ on Air’s New Tracks promotion and received community and commercial radio play.
Third single, ‘Talk To You’, also made New Tracks and received commercial radio play. It also made Spotify’s New Music Friday playlists in Aus/NZ, the UK and US in November 2018 and made the NZ Official Charts Hot NZ 20.
The ‘Fantasy’ EP was released in January 2019. Happy Mag called it “an expert study into funk and modern pop”.
In Feb 2019 Tarn started studying Commercial Music at University. After a year of study he’s returning to releasing his own tracks.
‘Daylight’ is the first single from an upcoming EP. The song is about forgetting your problems for a night and giving in to your feelings. With a luscious backdrop of chords and smooth beats, the song paints a picture of the morning after a party with the sun rising over the beach. At the core of the song is the idea of escaping your problems together.
‘Daylight’ has been accepted for NZ On Air April New Tracks. Promotion will include Instagram/FB videos and an acoustic version with a YouTube video will follow.
Tarn currently has over 250,000 streams across all platforms
