Girl Named T was born and raised in Berkeley California, but now lives in San Francisco, where if you get tired of walking up the hills you can just lean up against them…

Although exposed to music from a very young age, it was during the formative teen years that Girl Named T learned (often teaching herself) drums, guitar, bass, keys and how to sing and write songs. Influenced by The Beatles, Pixies, The Beach Boys, X, Smokey Robinson, Neil Young, Nirvana, Carol King and many other artists, T began writing and recording her own material to try and capture the timeless songwriting that had entranced her to music in the first place.

Just shy of her 20th birthday, she released Hey Liebe, her first full-length album of original pop/rock material .  Featured on some tracks are Chris Solberg on bass (Santana/Eddie Money) and Steve Taylor on keys (Rogue Wave), but mostly just Girl Named T on all the instruments. Before reaching 21 years old, she licensed her song “Raven Fly” to MTV for use on their hit series, “Awkward.”

More recently, Girl Named T has performed live on ABC Television, was written up by photographer Pat Johnson in BAM Magazine, and was ranked #9 on Live 105′s “Top Ten Artists/Bands You Didn’t See on the Top 20 List of 2011″. She was also interviewed on NPR’s “All Things Considered”, about a new guitar video game called Rocksmith (it’s like Guitar Hero, but you use a real guitar!). She was also a feature on theEpiphone guitar website.

After finishing three tours in less than a year, playing continuously throughout the Bay Area, conceptualizing and shooting two music videos and and raising hundreds of dollars for needy causes, Girl Named T is now performing and recording material for her highly anticipated next release.
