“Tamara Gamez "Burning." If you like rock, you’ll love this. Aggressive yet smooth musical composition complimented by strong well song vocals from the lead. The electric guitar in the production keeps the energy of the song throughout. The build up from the verses to the hook are in flow of the song but build the song to be even bigger as it goes into the bridge and out into a full all jam session.” - Kreadiv Kesh - LA On Lock
“Tamara Gamez “Lowly” kicks some serious ass from the beginning to the end. The lyrics are self-deprecating and the palm-muted guitars churn and build into an anthemic chorus. The vocals pick up pitch and energy into a chorus that doesn’t hold back. Sometimes you just want to watch the world burn and Tamara Gamez makes it all okay with their new track “Lowly”. Give this radical new tracks music video some love!” - Soul Food

Bio
Tamara Gamez is a singer/songwriter based out of Austin/San Antonio, TX. Her passion for music began at an early age– driving her to become the multi-instrumentalist she is today. By age ten, Tamara had written an extensive catalog of songs which she would record on her father’s old cassette tape recorder. With the influence of iconic bands and artists such as Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance and Nirvana guiding her along the way, she continued to write and develop her musicianship. After high school, Tamara joined the band Cupid’s Victim as their lead singer– helping them write and record two EPs. Playing shows all over south Texas, the band started to become known for their memorable songs and captivating stage presence that unapologetically pushed the boundaries in a male dominated music scene. After years of playing, Tamara and her band decided to take a leap of faith and move to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to continue their pursuit. From 2016 to 2018, Cupid’s Victim played numerous shows all over the east coast but decided to change their name to Feel Something after losing one of their core members. In 2019, after months of playing shows and recording their first EP, the band was forced to come to an end. A difficult break-up between Tamara and her boyfriend /bass player eventually led her to quit playing with Feel Something and move back to the lone star state. Heartbroken and completely defeated, Tamara spiraled into a deep state of depression and anxiety. Her only coping mechanism was to write about her experiences, regrets, and the looming threat of uncertainty. Feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable, Tamara pushed herself to continue on as a solo artist.
