TARYN PAPA

Taryn Papa’s music is the soundtrack to endless summers. Blending the timeless sound of 1990s country with the modern melodies of 21st century pop, she bridges the gap between the classic and the contemporary, creating a warm sound that’s every bit as powerful as the Martina McBride records that first captivated her attention as a teenager. Raised in Connecticut, Taryn grew up listening to female country artists with big voices and honest stories. Her songwriting skills take centerstage on AWAKE, Taryn’s first release following her successful run on Season 19 of NBC’s The Voice. Drawn to the honky-tonks that filled the city's Lower Broadway district with music, she quickly found a new home onstage, where she spent the past ten years playing marathon shows four nights a week. Those gigs sharpened her vocals to a powerful point. Taryn Papa isn't scared to pay her dues. For her, the journey is worth as much as the destination.
