A crush<br />
on Tatiana<br />
Text Fadi Morad<br />
She pierces you with her clever eyes,<br />
she gives you a hint of a crooked<br />
smile before she opens her beautiful<br />
mouth to say something wise and<br />
extremely funny. Tatiana mesmerizes you<br />
with her personality that shines through her<br />
beauty. She pulls you into her magical<br />
twisted reality where you’ll discover her wit<br />
and talent. Tatiana reminds you that a woman<br />
can have it all. Born and raised in Denmark,<br />
pursuing a career in music she moved<br />
to NY at the age of 21 where she created a<br />
sort of an alter ego ‘lovely liar’. With a voice<br />
and persona reminiscent of our great<br />
singing divas of the 50’s and 60’s she soon<br />
landed gigs in bars and clubs in NY, LA and<br />
Copenhagen. Combining that with a modeling<br />
career, and an acting career that is just taking<br />
off, Tatiana is one with many talents and<br />
she continues to amaze. I met up with her to<br />
talk about love, hate, her modeling career, her<br />
music and the release of the new “transporter<br />
refueled” where she plays a femme fatale…<br />
Growing up, where you a little entertainer?<br />
Yes! my dad had bought a video camera when<br />
I was little and I made him hook it up to our<br />
tv so I could watch myself sing and dance.<br />
Whenever he tried to film my baby brother,<br />
I’d jump in front of the camera shouting ‘daddy<br />
daddy film me!’ That became a standing joke in<br />
our family. When I was three or four years old,<br />
my parents dressed me up as Charlie Chaplin<br />
for Halloween and I went totally into character.<br />
I remember loving the attention and that<br />
feeling of making people laugh.<br />
You played the piano at an early age so music<br />
must’ve played a great part in your upbringing,<br />
did you always know you wanted to sing?<br />
I had a classic piano teacher at the age of six,<br />
twice a week for two hours. My parents had<br />
to buy me a pair of headphones for my piano<br />
because I was playing all the time and they<br />
were going mad. And yes I’ve always made<br />
songs. I would use the melody from famous<br />
kiddies songs and Christmas carols, change<br />
the lyrics and make them my own.<br />
And now you’ve got a shot at Hollywood.<br />
Do you see your acting career as a side dish<br />
to your music, or are you hoping to combine<br />
those two?<br />
I don’t see why I should separate those two. I<br />
am creative and I need to express myself in a<br />
creative way, whether it’s with fashion, music<br />
or film. It’s all the same vein to me and I won’t<br />
stop doing any of it.<br />
I can only describe your style as your own<br />
and I’m a big fan. But i think i speak for<br />
many when I ask ‘what are you thinking’?<br />
(Laughing) I found out that when I dress I always<br />
think in characters and it comes naturally<br />
to me, I follow whatever feeling I have or<br />
mood I’m in that day. I feel it and then I wear<br />
it. I never really overthink it and I never<br />
wonder what people might think. I use it as<br />
