Támar Davis

Voice

Támar is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and actress from Houston, Texas who rose to prominence as a Prince protégé. Prince recruited her in 2005 after an impromptu audition (that is the level of raw ability we're talking about) and she went on to make major contributions to his 2006 album 3121. She co-wrote and sang on his duet "Beautiful, Loved and Blessed," earning her own Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

Her story starts even earlier. Támar was a young member of the R&B girl group Girl's Tyme and appeared with them on Star Search before departing prior to the group's re-branding into Destiny's Child. Yes, she was an original member of Destiny's Child! She graduated from Houston's prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) and studied music business at the University of Southern California. She has an elite artistic training paired with a real education in how the industry actually works.

Most voice students learn technique. Támar's students will learn technique from someone who has used it under real pressure, in an audition room with Prince, on a live network television stage, eight shows a week on tour, and in a recording booth where the take has to be right. She knows how a career is actually built, how to walk into a room and be chosen, and how to protect an instrument over decades of use.

That is a caliber of mentorship that families typically travel to Los Angeles, New York, or Nashville to access. It is now a lesson slot in Frisco.

I have been taking piano lessons at Centre for Musical Minds for over a year now, and I can confidently say that they are a exceptional teachers. Their expertise and dedication have greatly improved my skills and passion for music.
