Life
Tami T was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, and was part of punk bands as a teenager. They began producing their own music at the age of 18, and upon moving to Leipzig, Germany in 2013 they started making "glitter electronica" under the name Tami Tamaki.[1] Their breakthrough came when their song I Never Loved This Hard This Fast Before was featured in Ester Martin Bergsmark's 2014 film Something Must Break.[2] Their music also appeared on the Norwegian TV series Skam.
They began using the artist name Tami T in March 2016, and they are now based in Stockholm.[3][1] Their debut album High Pitched and Moist was released in 2019 on the label Trannytone Records.[4] When asked about the heavily processed vocals on the album in an interview for the zine FEM, they explained that "by pitching [their voice] up an octave and auto-tuning it, it became a voice I could identify with and an instrument I wanted to work with".[5] In 2017, they co-produced the song "A Part of Us" on Fever Ray's album Plunge and toured with them.[6]
They aim to blur and redefine the lines of gender and gender identity with their music and art; they intentionally refrain from defining their own gender identity.[7][8][1]
