About Me

This page is my PERSONAL space and is not geared specifically toward my professional musical ventures. Please visit my official site for a biography, performance schedule, sound clips, gig photos, and more: www.TanyaWitt.com
Check out my cover band: Straight Up The Band
And my hot cabaret group: Twisted Angels
I'm a commercial vocalist living in the Midwest. All types of music move me. Right now I front three different bands; each stylistically different. Occassionally I do a radio/television jingle or a live theatrical production. I demo for songwriters all over the world. I'm signed with several major agencies in the Milwaukee, Chicago, and Minneapolis areas and contract independently as well.
I'm known as the National Anthem girl and have performed it in front of as many as 15,000 people. I've sung for nearly every event imagineable including: Chicago Machine, WNBA Minneosta Lynx, Green Bay Gamblers, Green Bay Blizzard, Luxemburg Speedway, Milwaukee Brewers, UWGB basketball teams, Milwaukee Admirals, Green Bay Bullfrogs, Wisconsin Toughman, WNCY Radio, WNFL Radio, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers...well...you get the picture!
In my free time I like to travel and hang with my husband on our 240 Searay (he made me put the boat part in). Occassionally I work as a plus model and have been featured in several website and catalog ads. I'm proud to represent curvy women! I'm a makeup freak with a serious attachment to anything MAC. I also love being in the air. I've done both bungee-jumping and sky diving. I'm fascinated with small planes and someday I'd like to get my private pilot's license.
Animals are another passion of mine. I currently volunteer for Cats Anonymous; a non-profit organization that works on the TNR theory: trap-neuter-release. My mom and I care for our own feral cat colony and I enjoy spoiling my own 'children'as well - four cats and Pebbles the Yorkie!

Road Rage And Smashing Pumpkins

This morning on my way to work one of those cow-carrying trucks got behind me on the highway and pretty much harrassed me all the way up to my exit.  He started out by riding my back bumper. ...

I Dreamed A Dream

Ever have a dream that seems to be happening in real-time? So that upon waking you're disoriented because you're still caught in the dream?  I had one of those last night.  I woke ...

Sweet Sound Of Success

I haven't felt like blogging today which is unusual for me.  Not sure why....  I've got some personal stuff to work thru; maybe I just don't feel like dealing with it right now thus don't wa...

Oh The Injustice!

Today is another annoyance day.  All sorts of little stuff going wrong; causing me to be snappish.  Most of the time - especially lately - I can control my short fuse.  But this week ha...

A Safe Haven

This week is the high school homecoming in Nowheresville.  Which means lots of kids running up and down our street armed with toilet paper, eggs, shaving cream, and God knows what else!  Joh...

Party Like A Rockstar

Straight Up's got a double-header this weekend.  Is it just me or does the phrase "double-header" sound vaguely sexual?  Come check out the band's new lineup and updated setlist! ...

Good Vibrations

A friend of mine has been after me to have a sex toy party for almost a year.  She emailed again today.  I have nothing against sex toys - in fact I'm a big fan!    But I'm not sur...
