Tara Bandito burst onto the music scene in 2022. A wrestler’s daughter with a flair for the dramatic and a sound to match, her debut single, Blerr, released through Côsh Records, quickly established her as a rising force.

​Highlights since include playing LUCfest, Taiwan & Green Man festival, reaching BBC Introducing Bethan Elfyn's top 5 artists and BBC 6 Music’s Huw Stephens' 'artist of the week’.

​In 2023 she released her debut self-titled album, with lead track 'Croeso i Gymru' picked up by Craig Charles on 6 Music. Recording the album in 2021 brought the end of a 14-year chapter of healing, grief and self-discovery following the death of her father.
Having experienced her first tour at 8 weeks old with her father, El Bandito’s Wrestling show, travelling is in her blood. Before pursuing her career as a solo artist, Tara toured with Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon and trained in India as yoga teacher. These experiences have shaped a unique artist who combines the Welsh language, English, and Sanskrit with the sounds of sitar and harp, raw autobiographical lyrics, and thumping beats.
