After touring around Southern Ontario playing songs from her album for about a year, Tara felt restless and decided to seek fellow musicians to collaborate with and expand her musicianship and creativity. She answered an ad posted by the band 5th Projekt, who were looking for a singer, and started experimenting with them. Their styles of alternative folk and cinematic rock gelled exceptionally well and resulted in a unique sound that the band drolly dubbed "Neo-Classical Romanticism." Tara decided to move from small town Ontario to Toronto and give herself fully to the project. The eclectic quartet released their first EP, "The Tales of Don Quixote" in 2005 and then their debut full-length album in 2006, both which resulted in international radio play, invitations to a multitude of show dates and festivals across North America such as Canadian Music Week, North By Northeast and Seattle’s Rockrgrl Festival, and reviews by renowned Canadian music writers Karen Bliss and John Sakamoto, among many others. 5th Projekt’s music also received award nominations from The 2007 Ontario Independent Music Awards, the Toronto Independent Music Awards (2005-2007), the 2007 Orange County Music Awards and the 2006 Just Plain Folks Awards in California.

In 2006, Tara was invited by artist/producer Ken Andrews, to join a digital music collective that he was initiating. The Los Angeles Digital Noise Academy (LADNA) has numerous members including Ken, Charlotte Martin, Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Tori Amos, Air, The Mars Volta), Jordan Zadorozny (Abbey, Blinker the  Star), Italy's Filippo Gaetani and 5th Projekt’s Sködt McNalty. Most music is created collaboratively across the Internet using a swap drive where members post and download each others’ ideas, ultimately creating finished musical pieces. In the summer of 2007, Tara traveled to Los Angeles to record for a week at Bomb Shelter, a studio belonging to Eric Kretz (formerly of Stone Temple Pilots) with the members of LADNA. Their first release is slated for 2008.

Tara has just finished up co-writing and co-producing two songs for a film, which were commissioned by Opine Entertainment. The film, ‘Good People, Bad Things’ will be released this year. She is currently working on new solo material, a new concept album with 5th Projekt, as well as recording an EP with the members of her newest endeavour - a three-piece band called Night Flowers who are writing infectious multi-genre world-flavoured 60’s-influenced rock music. She is also looking forward to touring and touring and touring…
