Projects and Credits

Over the years Tara has has been involved with many musicians and projects.

MT805: MT805 is the result of a collaboration between Matthew Presidente (Vancouver, Canada) and Tara C Taylor (Berlin, Germany). For over a decade the two independent artists have been cowriting songs, supporting each others projects and performing live and online. Living 8000 km apart for the past five years the two managed to write and create content together despite a global pandemic. Out of the shadow of the pandemic they came up with the MT805 project with sole purpose of creating fun dance music that embraces the whimsical and light-hearted spirt of the 80’s. Influenced by great bands like: The Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Depeche Mode, Yaz (Yahoo in Europe & UK), Bronski Beat, Sparks and Erasure now get ready to dance to the sounds of MT805!

Matthew Presidente (Vancouver, Canada): Tara and Matthew performed hundreds of shows over the years in Vancouver backing each other in the studio and on stage . Tara supported Matthew with studio and live performances, co-writing two songs, backing vocals and guitar. With Tara’s move to Berlin the work together have been limited but the are still working on studio projects.

Genre Peak (Sacremento, California, USA): Tara wrote the lyrics for three songs and provided studio vocals on two commercial releases.   In 2016 a live group was formed and preformed in California and live with Tara as  lead vocals on keys.
