Vancouver, BC, September 20, 2021 - Vancouver's multiple award-winning recording artist tj Note is excited to announce the release of her first two commercial studio recordings: PAiN (featuring guest legendary Jazz guitarist Mark Whitfield and Paul Kinman on guitar, Ryan T. Jones on bass, Ricardo Viana on drums), which was released earlier this year, and LOvE (featuring Henri Brown on bass and back-up vocals, 3x 2021 Golden Melody nominee artist Chien Chien Lu on Vibes, with special shout out to Richie Goods), which was released this summer. Both singles were produced by industry veteran Darren Grahn, who is also slated to produce tj's debut studio album NOW in 2022. Producers have likened her sound to that of fellow indie pop rock singer-songwriter Liz Phair and legendary jazz/blues/folk singer-songwriter Nina Simone, she even has an Avril Lavigne "fresh hooky rock-punk style. tj plans to follow up with additional singles prior to releasing her album.
tj NoTE is a seasoned songwriter and performer of 20+ years who has amassed an impressive song catalog, yet she has only recently begun the journey towards producing and releasing these first commercial studio recordings. An unfortunate series of events took place in tj’s life years ago just as she made the decision to pursue a career in music...she was hit by a car leaving her unable to finish her first album due to soft tissue and moderate traumatic brain injury.
After being forced to take a medical hiatus from professionally pursuing music, tj dedicated her life to rehabilitation, healing herself and others. She stepped out of the spotlight and worked behind the scenes in TV and Film, developing many close relationships with people in the film and music industries. Those who have spent time with tj describe her as having a "special essence" that draws people in, an ability to make those in her presence feel inspired, calm and cared for.
During her healing process, she felt a drive and desire to reconnect with music. As a result, tj underwent dental surgery and many painful therapies to relieve her chronic issues. Much to her surprise and delight, tj's voice came back the next day which enabled her to revisit her music career coming back into her life by recording and performing again. Since 2019, tj has been the MVP Winner of the Hunkerdown 7th Annual Battle of the Bands, has had 2 original songs placed in indie films, and her music regularly ranks #1 in tj's genre and city on ReverbNation.com.
PAIN and LOVE are available on Amazon Music, iTunes, Spotify and all other major streaming platforms.
