European Superstar Tajci To Perform In Woonsocket

World renowned singer/songwriter Tajci will perform “I Do Believe” at St. Agatha's Church tomorrow, in what promises to be a once in a lifetime event, and an incredible opportunity for Woonsocket residents to enjoy a concert by one of the most esteemed, spiritual vocalists of our time. 

Tajci or Tatiana Cameron, in collaboration with Los Angeles based producer Denny Bouchard, adopted and arranged a wide array of musical styles, traditions and ethnic origins into a mesmerizing musical piece. This performance, executed with tremendous artistry and sincere spirituality, features contemporary Christian favorites, Tajci’s original songs, Hebrew and Gregorian chants and classic Hymns.

Since the spring of 2000, Tajci (pronounced Tai-Chee,) has shared her spiritual programs in over 650 concerts, building a nationwide following for the artist who was once a superstar.

Born Tatjana Matejas in Zagreb, Croatia, Tajci was raised in a musical family, and by the age of 4 was singing in her father’s band.

As a young girl Tajci enrolled in the prestigious Croatian Music Conservatory and became a frequent performer on the national stage, appearing in countless musical, theatrical and television productions.

By age 19, Tajci became a pop music superstar in Central Europe when she electrified an international TV audience, estimated at over a billion people, in the Eurovision Song Contest.  Her records eventually achieved Platinum and Diamond sales, and her life became a blur of concerts, video shoots, personal appearances, photographers, adoring fans and bodyguards. Ironically the “dream come true” also brought feelings of isolation, loneliness and emptiness.

Shocking her country and peers, Tajci left it all to come to America, so that she might be free of her celebrity to find herself. For a while, she fled her image and changed her name. In her newfound anonymity, Tajci found her answers in prayer. In her faith and in the freedom it brought her, she found the inspiration to compose music and sing about her new experiences.

Tajci has released two live concert TV Specials on DVD; "I Thirst," her emotional portrayal of the Passion in April, 2004 in Los Angeles, and a Christmas concert performed in Chicago in December of 2006.

Through her music, Tajci shares the answers she’s found— in her faith, in her family and in her music.
