Known for her rich, soulful voice, commanding stage presence and ability to connect naturally with an audience, Taryn offers much more than a traditional vocal performance.

Soul • Motown • Disco • R&B • House • Pop • 80s • 90s • Dance • Musical Theatre • Movie Classics • Power Ballads
From Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and Whitney Houston to disco classics, Motown favourites, 90s R&B and contemporary dance and house music, Taryn can adapt her repertoire to create exactly the right atmosphere.
Performances can range from sophisticated background and dinner entertainment through to full-scale party sets designed to have an entire room dancing.
Simply Whitney – The Concert
Taryn’s signature production, Simply Whitney – The Concert, is a celebration of the extraordinary music of Whitney Houston.
Rather than simply impersonating Whitney, Taryn celebrates one of the greatest vocalists of all time through powerful live vocals, personality and a genuine love of the music.
The show features some of Whitney’s most iconic recordings, including I Wanna Dance with Somebody, How Will I Know, Saving All My Love for You, Greatest Love of All, I’m Every Woman, I Have Nothing and the legendary I Will Always Love You.
Simply Whitney can be presented as a solo production or expanded into a larger theatrical experience with musicians and additional production.
Lady Soul
Lady Soul celebrates the extraordinary women and songs that shaped soul music.
Drawing inspiration from legendary artists including Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan and many more, the show combines powerhouse vocals, timeless songs and Taryn’s own personality and storytelling.

Soul, Motown & Disco
For audiences who want to dance, Taryn offers high-energy sets packed with instantly recognisable classics.
Expect everything from Motown and classic soul through to funk, disco and dancefloor favourites.

Weddings & Private Events
For weddings and special occasions, performances can be individually tailored around the event.
Taryn can provide music for different parts of the celebration, from emotional ballads and romantic soul songs through to a full evening party performance.
Where appropriate, clients can request particular songs or musical moments, allowing the entertainment to feel personal rather than like a standard set.
Corporate & Luxury Entertainment
For corporate events, gala dinners, award ceremonies and luxury hospitality, Taryn can provide anything from an elegant featured vocal performance to a headline entertainment set.
Her extensive experience in professional entertainment means she understands that these events require more than a great voice: presentation, timing, reliability, audience awareness and the ability to work seamlessly with event organisers and production teams are equally important.

Shows can be structured specifically for cruise and theatre audiences, with carefully designed pacing, audience interaction and repertoire.
