Tamlin Tregonning (9 March 1972) is an Australian singer/songwriter, producer and engineer, known only by his first name. Tamlin, who has Cornish, Romany, Scottish, Jewish and Armenian blood, was born into a family of long artistic pedigree and first stepped behind a drum kit at age two. His great grandfather Emmanuel “Manny” Aarons played the organ at Sydney’s State Theatre and composed the music for one of Australia’s first feature films, “Pearls and Savages.” Manny’s family were Tivoli theatre performers.
“Not many recording artists can boast the pedigree of Tamlin. Tamlin was born into Australia’s folk music equivalent of the House of Windsor.” Sydney Magazine (Sydney Morning Herald)
Tamlin’s music is a hybrid of roots, rock and reggae and he has been playing to live audiences in Australian venues for years, including supporting Maxi Priest. Tamlin’s band consists of Zoltan Budai on bass (Richard Clapton), Jon Howell on drums (Leonardo's Bride) and Scott Aplin (Delta Goodrem) on keyboards. Tamlin was a finalist in the Musicoz awards and invited to perform at the televised live ceremony. Tamlin is a multi-instrumentalist who spent years behind the scenes as a sound engineer and producer before taking to the stage himself. His debut album, End Of The Affair was engineered by ARIA award winner Jonathan Burnside. The album includes the harmonica playing of Tamlin’s uncle Jim Conway (arguably Australia’s most acclaimed harmonica player). Tamlin’s second album Sea of One is due to be released in late 2008.
