For our latest spotlight series episode, host Jayden speaks with film composer & songwriter Tanis about her upcoming single, “The Bad One,” set to release on June 12. Tanis reflects on the creative journey of the single, revealing that she wrote and composed it two years ago but had left it in her backlog of unfinished demos. After revisiting the song late last year, she felt it needed a producer’s touch and collaborated with Danny Monk, who helped enhance the pulsing bass line.
This collaboration marked a significant growth for Tanis as she usually works alone, and she expresses excitement about this new musical direction, claiming it feels like an essential step forward in her artistic evolution. The conversation also touches upon Tanis’ recognition in the industry, highlighted by her recent Broadcast Production Award for her composition “Wildcard.” She describes the unexpected joy of receiving this award and shares the backdrop of her experience in Los Angeles, where she worked with a woman-run music composition company on projects for music licensing.
The piece “Wildcard” was commissioned for one of their albums, leading to her award win, which she proudly displays in her studio. This episode showcases Tanis’s artistic journey, her collaborative efforts in music production, and her professional achievements.
