Being featured in Rolling Stone Magazine’s Global Artist Spotlight was one of the highlights of a stellar 5 months that Australian Pop Singer Songwriter, T8iana, has had in the year 2022.
T8iana released her 3rd single ‘The Sign’ worldwide on 13th May and like her previous releases, it too has garnered a lot of interest on various Spotify playlists. The single also climbed up to the Top 100 UK iTunes Daily Dance charts.
“It has been like a dream come true!”, says T8iana of her recent chart successes preceding this one.
Her first single “What Have You Gotta Say now?” released in Feb ‘22 was a Top 100 hit on UK iTunes Daily Dance charts. The second single – EDM flavoured “Your Lover From An Alternate Reality” – a song she wrote specifically for her large, predominantly male following on Instagram, released in April ‘22 was also a winner, peaking at #31 on the UK iTunes daily dance charts.
Of mixed Mauritian-Indian French roots, Tatiana Bharat Sinha ie the artist publicly known as T8iana, has often talked about her dark past which involved assault and bullying by strong male figures, as she was growing up as a transgendered kid in the late 90s. In a lifechanging incident at a tender age, on her way back home from school one evening, she was assaulted by a group of adolescent homophobic men – an ordeal that left her psyche scarred for years. “That night something died, and something was born inside me. I decided to be brave and to be fighter, for the rest of my life”, says T8iana. She has used her innate talent to write and sing uplifting club friendly dance tracks to deliver powerful messages via her music.
In the latest song ‘The Sign”, T8iana’s attempt to express dark topics of feeling trapped and persecuted as a trans woman in a world that still stigmatises the LGTBI community, in such a fun and positive dance format, needs to be applauded. T8iana’s embrace of her freedom is on full display in this stunning musical arrangement with sounds reminiscent of the heyday of disco, fused with an EDM feel and sprinkled with her sparkly vocals.
T8iana has come a long way in not only standing up against her detractors but also lighting up the way for hundreds of LGTBI youth with her uplifting club friendly dance tracks with inspiring lyrics. Clips of her music and her inspiring life are on her Instagram : the_real_t8iana
