My guest is Tara Simon, acclaimed vocalist and creator of Tara Simon Studios. In our pre-interview conversation I learned that Tara is really into analytics, and she should be–she’s doing really well on YouTube!

She wanted to be a singer, win a Grammy, and tour the world. Tara accomplished a lot along the way, including being recognized as a top finalist on the second season of the X Factor, and scoring the role of Serena Katz in a broadway audition for Fame.

We talk about life events that pushed Tara to change course. She is a woman with high standards for her business. Fans of her music won’t be left behind. Tara says she has recorded work of her own in the pipeline.
