Inuit throat singing has traditionally been a two-person voice game using vocal multiphonics and vocal percussion techniques (as simply put as possible).

Pining for home while serving time at a Nova Scotia university with no other Inuit women to play with, Tanya Tagaq Gillis began throat-singing solo. She found soloing a good way to express herself, her culture, and her art to her new colleagues. It was also a fine way of teaching Inuit throat singing to othersthus creating singing partners and introducing a growing number of people to a little known art.

Tanya Tagaq Gillis can perform solo but prefers to improvise with other capable musicians. She is able to present workshops and seminars on Inuit throat singing and a number of other things.

Tanya Tagaq Gillis has released a debut CD, performed mainstage at some of North America's most prestigious Folk festivals, toured internationally with Icelandic legend, Bjork, and collaborated with Kronos Quartet.
