	Musicians - Tanita Tikaram

Tanita Tikaram (born August 12, 1969) is a pop/folk singer/songwriter. Her style is based on her husky voice, acoustic guitar and quirky, poetic lyrics. Her 1988 debut album, Ancient Heart, released when she was just 19 years old, became an international hit and led to a world tour. But her successive releases failed to meet with much commercial success and she has since faded into obscurity. She worked with a new producer and a more pop music-oriented style for her attempted 1998 comeback The Cappuccino Songs.

She remains best known for the enigmatic hits "Twist In My Sobriety" and "Good Tradition" from her debut album. "Twist In My Sobriety" was accompanied by an award-winning black and white video, set in rural South America, and directed by Gerard de Thame.

Of Indian-Fijian and Malaysian ancestry (her father was an officer in the British army), Tikaram was born in Münster, Germany and later moved with her family to Basingstoke, England. She is the sister of actor Ramon Tikaram.

In 2005 Tanita released her latest album, Sentimental. The album was warmly received by critics and fans.
