Tarnia Coppers - "Sassy Catch"

Tarnia Coppers - "Sassy Catch"

Tarnia was born in Perth, Western Australia, from an enterprising Australian artist mother and a Dutch father who survived 8 years in a World War 2 work camp before immigrating to Australia.

She was brought up on a healthy dose of ABBA and old Saturday / Sunday afternoon movie musicals. She was caught from a young age popping wheelies on her bicycle and singing songs at the same time, so it's no wonder she has fallen into the genre of performer of old MGM tunes in a flamboyant vaudeville style.

Tarnia had a beautiful natural voice and innate comic timing and talent on the stage that was honed in school choirs and musicals. Tarnia's passion for all songs jazz came when she fronted the schools Swing and Big Band.

Earning her stripes and learning her way included years of private vocal and acting lessons. Seeing her passion and dedication, Gospel Choir Director Tony Backhouse took her under his wing 3 nights a week singing within his choirs. Tarnia was able to hone a powerful gospel chest voice with brilliant soul tones and gain a range of mezzo-soprano to tenor.

Whilst working at Fox Studios, Tarnia noticed the public's love of and yearning to hear the songs from the old movies. It was with the block buster success of Moulin Rouge and Chicago that Tarnia knew she wanted to bring back the songs from the MGM era, and headed to Hollywood.

Tarnia spent nine months researching the 50's MGM style. She visited film studios and cocktail lounges in New York, Niagara Falls, Washington, Savannah, Miami, San Antonio Texas and Las Vegas. She also went to the heart of jazz and gospel, New Orleans and Southern Louisiana.

Tarnia brought her unique style home to Perth and lounged on top of many a grand piano singing her sassy songs while being backed by her "boys" on piano and double bass.

Her passion for flamboyancy then led Tarnia to mix her style with a delicious vintage burlesque twist.

So whether Tarnia is elegantly singing and swinging relaxed jazz in a corner to full flying feathers, diamonds and fancy of the MGM starlet upon a stage, or the raucous vaudevillian interaction with the crowd style with burlesque dancers beside her, Tarnia is really at home in her element and is becoming more thrilling with each performance.
