 Hi, my name is Tan Brown and I'm a singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, New York I think creating as a woman always comes with a little bit of a challenge I've definitely had to learn how to use my voice. It's important for me to walk into the room and see What is already here and then what can I bring to this space that's not here? No one's gonna hear things the way that I do. No one's gonna sing the way that I do No one's gonna tell stories the way that I do because my experience is so unique to my body to my mind It's so important to know like what is your gift? What is the thing that makes you different from the people around you and then really lean into that? There is no one in the world like you and being yourself in this industry will probably get you way further than trying to emulate or Mimic someone else or what you think someone else should be. I appreciate Artlist very much. People need the work that we're doing and the work that we're creating It's a reminder that music is valuable. Create a platform that's intentionally making space that like intimacy is unmatched It's bigger than me. It's like this piece of music has taken on a life of its own And I definitely want to be able to create soundtracks to everyone's lives for the rest of my life
