(Tajci is pronounced TAI-Chi)
Tatiana ’Tajci’ Cameron is an award-winning music artist, a world-class entertainer and songwriter, and a Eurovision Song Contest finalist. She co-wrote Window in the Wall recorded by Olivia Newton-John and her daughter Chloe in 2021. The song was released posthumously on the DUETS album along with hits like Jolene performed with Dolly Parton and duets with Cliff Richard, Michael McDonald, Paul Anka, John Travolta, and many others.
Born in Croatia, Tajci became a European sensation at age 19, achieving platinum record sales, sold-out arena performances, endorsements by major corporations including Levi's, and the production of her very own Tajci Doll.
A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, Tajci has performed in theater and cabaret houses in New York City and Los Angeles; composed, produced, and toured extensively with original narrative shows; founded a children’s theater in Cincinnati, OH; wrote and launched a full-length musical My Perfectly Beautiful Life and hosted and produced the TV show Waking Up in America.
Tajci's most recent album Where or When is a collection of great American songbook standards, masterfully arranged by Grammy Award-winning arranger and composer Jeff Steinberg and recorded by David Langley in Franklin, TN. She's been touring nationally and internationally for three decades and is currently in rehearsals for a concert with a symphony orchestra featuring songs that bring hope, love, and unity to all.
When she is not on tour or writing music, Tajci loves to coach creatives. She is ICF accredited and Chopra Center-certified life and wellness coach and meditation teacher. Tajci wrote and published five non-fiction books that inspire mindful living, she publishes weekly Letters to Friends, and volunteers as a Board Member of Better Decisions, an organization that provides mentorship to incarcerated and otherwise vulnerable women. She loves to garden, take walks with her Goldendoodle Luna Daisy, and prepare homemade dinners when her three college sons come to visit.
