About Me

I am a singer/songwriter originally from NY and moved to Hollywood to really pursue my career (when i joined my space), but NOW i am living in Athens, Greece as a recording artist. I put up some cuts from my album on my artist page www.myspace.com/annetartanimusic or go to my site www.annetartani.gr i recently got back from a European tour to promote myself in the Eurovision song contest. I am a published songwriter and started out in this industry (besides singing my own music) by doing the occassional high profile background singer gig(and used to sing with Taylor Dayne and Britney Spears) while I recorded my shit. I also write for already established artists (Britney Spears, Linda- an Italian artist, Brie Larson, etc) and had a number one hit song called "Everytime" with Britney. It won an MTV award and was featuring on her greatest hits and 'B in the Mix' remix album. However, when you see someone else being so successful with your own music, you think, fuck, what more do I need to be doing to get where I want to be? So you ditch your entire life and wind up moving across the world to hope for other opportunities. I really believe that if you believe in yourself half as much as your parents do, you will be any damn thing you want to be. So I did as my parents did, who moved out of Greece to immigrate to the states, and tried my luck by moving to where they grew up. I would never regret this decision- as difficult as it is to adjust (and I am STILL adjusting). I plan on going back to the states VERY soon. I know that i am following some path where i am supposed to be here now and learn from this, but i think the path is leading me back to my original home, NY. When I lived in Hollywood and was singing for Taylor D, she also got me to check out the Kabbalah center. I have to say, that i do feel connected to the philosophy of Kabbalah, but regardless of what you do to get you through the day, I think its just important being a good person and knowing that what goes around comes around isn't just an ancient saying. I also believe that we attract alot of the shit we complain about into our lives- good and bad. Aside from that, I am also a devoted yogi. When I toured with Britney i was the tour virgin (out of 116 people i was the only one who had never been on a tour before), and I was VERY stressed out. In the middle of the tour i discovered yoga and it has gotten me through alot of stress, changes, relationships and long hauls across the globe. And the greatest achievement of all for me? I adopted three kitty cats, which i believe are three human babies with a slight hormomal imbalance and THAT'S why they are furry! Namaste.

My Interests

music, acting, writing music, poetry, screenplays, books, being overall athletic and eccentric, and also playing with my furry babies Dizzy, Fiona and Iggy :0)

I'd like to meet:

musicians, artsy-fartsy types, reconnect with old friends or people i lost touch with because of too much moving! and networking with industry people that have stuff going on (would be nice, huh?) so that i am not closed off to Europe and can maintain some sense of Americanism!PS. THIS IS ME IN MY DRESSING ROOM BEFORE A SHOW AND HOW I GET SHIT OUT OF MY SYSTEM :0)

Music:

anything soulful and different, but i am generally attracted to deeper singer-songwriter artists like Beth Hart, Nikka Costa, Fiona Apple (Fiona, I named my cat after you...)..or just great fucken singers lke Aretha, Whitney, Mariah or Anastacia.

Movies:

any great Mel Brooks film or thrillers (although I am guilty of the romantic comedy syndrome, which i completely blame on my hormones)

Television:

the late "Friends", "Days of Our lives" (I'm sadly addicted since i was 7), "Charmed" and "Desperate Housewives", "Grey's Anatomy", "Prison Break", "Lost", "Seinfeld", and the list goes on because apparently, I watch way too much tv!

Books:

Like Water for Chocolate; Captain Corelli's Mandolin, The Power of Kabbalah, The Secret

Heroes:

anyone who had balls and who said it like it fucken is!

My Blog

Dizzy Gillespie (the cat)

Just wanted to share my thoughts on what happened the other day...I lost my cat and i don't know if i have ever mourned like that in my life...except for when my grandparents died. I know it may sound...
