Trained at Berklee College of Music and featured twice on Ubisoft’s massively successful, Just Dance, Montreal’s “powerhouse in a little package”, 27-year-old Pop/Rock, Singer/Songwriter Tatum Quinn has opened for Kool & the Gang, Boy George and more. Quinn’s goal is to inspire the world through her music and give her fans a place to belong in a world that wants them to fit in.
Tatum is no stranger to bullying due to a learning disability called Dyslexia. Struggling to get out of school, alongside teachers who’d tell her “she’ll never amount to anything” and to “give up music and get a real job, ” music saved TQ! That’s why it’s so crucial for Quinn to use her voice & speak up on behalf of her fans.
