Born in the east village of Manhattan, raised in Rochester, NY and Aspen, Colorado, Talia incorporates a wide variety of influences into her work. Having had the good fortune to grow up in a musical household (her father is an opera singer, her mom a gospel pianist and teacher), Talia began writing songs and stories at an early age.
Long summers in Aspen (before it became Beverly Hills) brought out her cowgirl ways, and put in her ear the sounds of old country - Hank Williams, George Jones, Loretta Lynn...combined with the classical and jazz of the Aspen Music Festival. Talia wrangled horses, guided rides up the Colorado Rockies, barrel raced in the local rodeos, and soaked up the all the sounds around her. Back in New York, Talia ditched her piano lessons and selected the Tuba at age nine. She played for over ten years and toured Europe as the tubist for the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
Not a stranger to the stage, Talia made her theatrical debut at age five, in "La Boheme," alongside her father and siblings, at The Eastman Theatre. She continued acting, and began working professionally at age eighteen. Several leading roles in films followed, including "Anguish," "Misplaced," "Love and Other Sorrows"; along with Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regional theatre.
In NYC, Talia trained at NYU, the Circle In The Square Theatre School, and with Sandra Seacat. After several years of working as an actor, a series of events occurred which altered the trajectory of her life. Upon completion of her first movie, "Anguish" (filmed in Barcelona), the generous crew had given Talia a guitar. After a five year stalemate with the instrument, and homebound after an incident involving her mountain bike and a taxicab door, Talia finally picked up the guitar. A few very frustrating weeks passed, and then... a song spilled out. And another. The stories now had a river on which to ride. Inspired by the music and her love of travel, Talia sold everything but her guitar and a box of clothes, moved out of her NYC apartment, and bought an old Ford truck. Out of the blue, Talia was given a Shepherd/wolf pup - the perfect travelling companion. The two hit the highway, heading for Colorado.
