Tara Kannangara

Tara Kannangara is a Toronto-based trumpeter, vocalist, and genre-blurring composer who crafts lush soundscapes blending jazz, indie-pop, and electronic experimentation. Known for her warm, inventive trumpet work and ethereal vocals, she released her standout album *Some Version of the Truth* in 2020, which features tracks like "Extraordinary People" and "Frank" — a playful nod to Amy Winehouse’s "Rehab." Her music often feels cinematic, weaving introspective lyrics with intricate arrangements, as heard in the haunting "It's Not Mine Anymore" or the dreamy "Touched." A collaborator with artists like Leland Whitty (BADBADNOTGOOD) and indie-pop act Bernice, Tara’s work thrives at the intersection of improvisation and polished studio craft, earning her nods in Canada’s jazz and alternative scenes. Her recent covers, like the reimagined Peter Gabriel track "Come Talk to Me," showcase her knack for reinventing familiar sounds into something distinctly her own.
