A vessel chosen by the hand of God...

Ms. Calder is more than what meets the eye.  Jamaican born in the Parish of Clarendon, raised in the United Kingdom, baptized at the age of 11 under her father's ministry she was quickly involved in musical activities in not only her church but her schools and around her community.

Ms. Calder represented the Nu Lyfe Krew as one of their three vocalists in early 2004, after which she began exposing her lyrical talents as a songwriter. In 2008, three (3) singles were released "Light Up The World", "Lift Up Your Head" and "Shelter of Love" all written and sung by her. Tamara has since recorded with other fellow gospel artistes such as: Clifford Henry representing Katalys Crew, Ancient Priest, JCDC's (Jamaica Cultural Development Commission) second place winner for 2010 and Minister Blessed. Tamara places thought-provoking lyrics as the focal point in her music and above vocal talent places tremendous emphasis on the importance of her duty to minister and not entertain. Tamara continues to strive, to bring a musical message to a changing world.
