Biography
Tabitha Browne (b. 21st May 1980)
Tabitha Browne is a newly debuted musician and singer/songwriter from the UK.
Born in Angus, Scotland, Tabitha’s family live on the edge of an organic carrot farm in a very quiet rural area of Angus, Scotland.
Music has been a permanent fixture in her life; Tabitha began playing piano at the age of five years and has subsequently learned guitar, fender rhodes, wurlitzer, synths and percussion as well as composition, recording, producion, engineering and progamming.
With regards to musical influences, Tabitha’s eccentric, inventor/engineer father played a leadng role in educating her on many genres of music – including Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd among many others. His cousin is married to Helen Cosgrove, mother of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay!
In the early 1980’s, Tabitha’s father part-owned a television retail business with his brother. His personal claim to fame in 1985 was to purchase an immense (at the time) two-metre wide satellite dish from the British Telecom owned Telecoms House in London. He brought this back to Scotland and in a flurry of excitment from the local press, Tabitha’s father installed the satellite on the roof of his shop in Angus.
This gave Tabitha and her family the enviable position of being the first in the UK to have satellite television. This meant Tabitha was to be able to watch her favourite channel at the time – MTV.
For hours after school, and at every other opportunity, Tabitha would sit as on the floor in her father’s shop in front of a wall stacked with televisions and watch with awe the music videos, glitz and the glamour MTV showed. Tabitha cites this as one of her most pivotal influences from her formative years.
With no real interest in learning music and music theory in the conventional sense, Tabitha eventually arrived at her own, personal understanding of music. She was aided by her love of artists such as Kate Bush, Beck, Pentangle and The Cure; this was miles away from the staunch counterpoint her piano teacher seemed to prefer.
In her teenage years, Tabitha wrote music, sometimes recording onto tape. However, Tabitha didn’t send out her first demo until she was twenty-seven years old. She says the reason for is that none of her very early songs were good enough.
Tabitha enrolled at college to study Social Sciences when she was twenty-three years old. Generally a keen and bright student, Tabitha again found she had no real ambition to use the skills she was aquiring to commence a career in the world of Social Sciences.
Instead, because of the subjects she was learning – politics, philosophy, sociology – the course opened Tabitha’s ears to the ‘inner voice’ many songwriters claim guides them through the songwriting process.
Now armed with her new opinions about the world, Tabitha was ready to fit them in lyrical form around the music she still composed in her spare time. In 2005, Tabitha quit college and in 2006 began writing full time.
Using an relatively unsophisticated audio PC linked up to her recently acquired digital piano, Tabitha now found recording demos much simpler than her early attempts with an old upright piano and Fostex 8 track.
In November 2007, Tabitha registered at myspace.com and uploaded the tracks: ‘See Me’, ‘The World Beneath’, ‘I’m a Tornado’ and ‘Your Lucky Stars’. Mr Andrew Maurice, who offered Tabitha her first publishing deal through hearing her on myspace.com, would later tell her that the first two bars of ‘See Me’ were enough to make him get in touch to find out more about her.
Since signing her first publishing deal, Tabitha has been busy in The Suite Studio, Primrose Hill, London recording her debut single which contains tracks taken from her forthcoming album ‘The Lipgloss Grapevine’. The tracks included on the single are the A-side, ‘See Me’, and the B-side ‘The World Beneath’.
Right now, Tabitha is working on a collaberation with Adam Jancsh (son of the world renowned Pentangle writer and guitarist Bert Jansch). Stay tuned for the release date of their single.
Tabitha’s plans for the rest of 2008 are to relentlessly promote and perform her material all over the UK.

I belief in artgeneering...the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient wayof using language... the way of light and color... without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes... to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way... natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored... awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe... to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying times, that keep us away from our natural mission... to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace... we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness, to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
