About Tamara Kuldin
Contents
Tamara Kuldin is a Melbourne-based jazz and vintage vocalist celebrated for bringing back the sass, sophistication and romance of the golden era of song—with a modern, sultry, playful twist. Her voice draws deeply from The Great American Songbook, French chanson, jazz, blues, and multilingual classics. Influenced by icons such as Doris Day, Sarah Vaughan, Cassandra Wilson, and Joni Mitchell, Tamara gifts each performance with emotional warmth, impeccable phrasing, and storytelling that connects deeply with her audiences.
Her career spans intimate jazz clubs in Melbourne, grand concert halls in Europe, and international festivals. She performs with leading Australian and international musicians including Kate Ceberano, Joe Chindamo, and Wycliffe Gordon. Her festival appearances and venues include the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Melbourne Recital Centre, The Victorian Arts Centre, Birds Basement, Stonnington Jazz Festival, and overseas engagements such as Bergamo Jazz in Italy.
Tamara Kuldin has released several acclaimed albums: her debut Secret Love (2015) featuring gypsy jazz violinist Gerard Vandenbroucque; Love, Longing & Lullabies (2017), which earned airplay across Australia, New Zealand, Japan and wider Asia; and This May Only Be A Dream (2020), in which she explores vintage swing, Argentinian tango, bossa, original songs, and arrangements with Australia’s finest jazz players.
