Tamaryn Sitha Brown[1] is a New Zealand songwriter and singer based in Los Angeles.[2][3] Since 2008, Tamaryn has released four studio albums, an EP and several singles.[2] Her multifaceted style melds various genres such as dream pop, shoegaze, post-punk, gothic rock, synth-pop and electronic.[2][4][5][6][7]
Tamaryn Brown was born in New Zealand. She was raised by a mother and godmother who were Jungian psychologists, and the family moved frequently around New Zealand and, later, the United States. The New Zealand government commissioned her mother and godmother to open a halfway house for runaway teenagers. Tamaryn described being raised with "30 brothers and sisters, kids who had been in different gangs: Mongrel Mob, Black Power… Some of them white, some Māori, some mixed". The halfway house later faced criticism for its unorthodox practices, and the resulting public backlash led to her family moving to Roslyn, Washington.[8] She left home at the age of 13, and remained in the United States thereafter.[9]
