Tanya Hemi is a solo guitarist, singer-songwriter and loop mixer, who layers harmonies with catchy melodies. She was born and raised in rural New Zealand but has spent several years travelling and living abroad, and now proudly calls Perth home. 

With influences like Xavier Rudd, Etta James, Matt Corby, Kim Churchill, John Butler, Tash Sultana and many more, she has naturally gravitated towards writing and singing her own songs. 

She released her first single “Wake up” in 2021, showing a raw glimpse of her life story, social and cultural differences. The song can be found on all streaming platforms.

Tanya works full time and devotes every spare moment to writing, creating beats, and performing them around Perth. She is currently channelling her energy and focus into collaborating with local WA artists and recording her own EP.
