This instrumental is perfect for any kind of broadcasting where a "triumph despite adversity" moment comes. It has a great gradual build and a smooth groove that would only enhance, not distract from the character or individual.

Beauty Queen Instrumental

This instrumental has a lot of space in it. It is the perfect track for a rainy sceneor a hopeful and emotional story someone is telling. The build towards the end is perfect for two lovers running to finally meet one another. The music evokes a very emotionally charged response that would pair very well with a similar visual.

Paul Legend Ft. Tara Simon - Emotions - Fox 5 Greatest Hits (produced By Terayle)

Don't Turn Me Off is an uptempo pop song channelling Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera and a little Pink. Its lyrics are encouraging, positive and energetic. The song is about being heard, not wanting to be tuned out, and trying to get your point across to someone you care about.

Don't Turn Me Off

Quit

Rough and incomplete on purpose. Sometimes raw and vulnerable is where its at.

You Lie

After my rocky experience on The X Factor Season 2, I wrote Walk Away. It is my musical response to what happened to me on the show. Thank you to all of my fans who saw past the smoke and mirrors to the person and artist I really am. This one is for you.

Walk Away

Written for one of my heroes. A woman names Sandra Shiraz who lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer. She truly was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. A true Beauty Queen.

Beauty Queen

This song is for those of you who are a little disillusioned with how life is going at the moment. We have all faced hardship and struggles, but I believe it is how we handle those moments in life that define who we are and will become. I know for myself, I am a very flawed individual, but instead of focusing on all that I am not, I try to constantly remind myself of the Mercy that comes with every new morning.

Mercy Came

In this song, LA is a symbol for dreams that have not yet come true. Its about wanting to go after those dreams full force, not just talking about it but actually doing it. It has a sense of urgency about it because deep down you know that those dreams won't last forever and they don't wait for you. Big breaks don't come easy.

Tara’s determination and drive to succeed also began early. She moved to New York City on her 18th birthday, her sights set firmly on Broadway. When the audition dates for Fame were announced, the creative community in the Big Apple was set on fire with excitement. Despite an initial nervousness, Tara knew the time was right to climb up another rung on the ladder of show business. After waiting for ten hours, she sang from the heart, and won the role of Serena Katz.
Fame toured Europe, and Tara found herself journeying through several countries which were very different than the one in which she had been born. 
One night, as Tara made her way toward the tram which would take her back to her hotel, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her. Turning, she saw a young girl, breathless with exertion, running to catch up with her. The girl’s parents followed, similarly exhausted. The child looked at Tara, her eyes shining, and held out a notepad and pen. Suddenly, Tara realized what she was being asked to do. With a feeling almost too enormous to describe, she signed her first autograph, standing right there in the snow. 
It was a moment of realization. Tara knew then, that her responsibility was much bigger than the stages she stood on. Young people looked at her as an influence, which was a fact she would never be tempted to take lightly.
After the Fame tour, Tara found herself participating in a number of different ventures, including a co-writing project at Brentwood Benson Music Publishing. She collaborated with Dove Award winning writers like Sue Smith, gaining validation and experience in the process. Music licensing companies now use her songs in various types of media, including independent films, advertisements and on television. At this time, Tara’s catalog contains over 500 original songs.
Over the course of her professional singing career, Tara has appeared at a wide array of venues, including the Kravis Center, the Cruzan Amphitheater, the NBA Bobcats Stadium, the Time Warner Cable Arena and the Oracle Coliseum. She has had the pleasure of performing for A-list celebrities like Simon Cowell, Sugarland, Brittney Spears, Tiger Woods, L.A. Reid, Scooter Braun and Reba McEntire, her captivating voice transporting her to prestige.
While at Palm Beach Atlantic University - where she gained her Bachelor of Arts in Music - Tara was given the opportunity to expand her knowledge of theater and dance, as well as explore an eclectic selection of choral genres. She now uses that training, along with her life experience, in her work at Tara Simon Studios, where she teaches performing arts to individuals of all ages as a specialty coach. Tara considers enabling the success of others an integral part of success, and a vital component in the energy cycle of any community.
Music can mark a decade, an era, or an amazing moment in time. It speaks in a universal language which is understood by all, regardless of race, belief system, political affiliation or nationality. Music can bring a society together; music is life itself. Tara intends to continue finding new ways to use her musical talent to merge energy and humanity. She believes that music is a fundamental bridge-building tool, capable of creating a unity that will change the world for the better.
