We had the pleasure of interviewing Tara Macri over Zoom video!
Rising pop singer, songwriter, and actress Tara Macri recently released remixes of her viral, dreamers’ anthem “Waking Up In California.” With the original track amassing over 12 million streams on TikTok alone, the remixes have been getting some great support from dance playlists on Spotify and Amazon Music and reimagine the recent single as club-ready summer bangers with up-and-coming house and electronic producer.
“Waking Up In California,” produced by Garen Gueyikian and mixed by multiple GRAMMY-winning engineer Chris Lorde-Alge, mirrors Tara’s journey and real-life successes on the Broadway stage as well as in music and film to speed through life’s highs and lows in a quintessential California top-down convertible reminding us that each day brings a new chance of opportunity. The single follows “Excuses,” which inspires listeners to know their worth and speak their truth, and continues a trajectory that saw Tara erupt into the pop music stratosphere with the release of her hit single “Prettiest Girl In The Room” which broke Billboard’s Top 80 chart and received extensive airplay on US terrestrial and Sirius XM radio.
In addition to her music, Tara has an impressive artistic performance background strengthened by her lifelong passion for the arts that led her to land pivotal roles on Broadway (Hairspray, Jersey Boys, and one of the latest movie-turned-musicals to hit the stage, The First Wives Club.) She also starred as Amber in Hairspray at the Hollywood Bowl opposite Nick Jonas and John Stamos. Outside of the theater, Tara is the voice of Young Tigress in the Kung Fu Panda prequel, Secrets of the Scroll, which also featured Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogan, and Lucy Liu. Most recently, Tara received praise for her awarding winning performance in Patrick Liscomb’s acclaimed film Outcry.
