Artist History When De la Soul sang 3 is the magic number they couldn`t have been more prophetic. Beau-T are 3 girls Tara, Becky and Kelly - ready to charm you with their soaring harmonic vocals and fascinate you with their infectious, yet raw and aggressive sound. Beau-T is the brainchild of Tara (or T to her friends) , who, fed-up with auditioning for bands that didnt have a clue what direction they wanted to go in, decided the only way to get what she wanted was to form one herself. I wanted to be part of something that was a little bit different to everything else` says Tara, `so I put an advert in The Stage asking for female singer-songwriters with balls and set about holding auditions myself from my Dads front room in Essex! It was there next to the sofa, and under the giggly gaze of Tara`s sisters (who kept poking their heads round the door), that 25-year-old Becky and 22-year-old Kelly first made their impression. Tara says, From the minute they both walked in the door they had such a presence about them. I knew instantly. Plus they didn`t seem to care that my whole family was watching!` It seemed like fate`, says Kelly. Becky agrees, `When I got to Taras house I`d decided this was going to be my last audition. I was ready to give up after this. I`d had enough of getting doors slammed in my face. It`s been 3 years since their first meeting, and while there`s been no door slamming it still hasn`t been an easy ride. After a false start in the USA, when a production team tried to turn them into a RnB group, Tara, Becky and Kelly spent months writing songs in Tara`s Essex flat and knocking on doors - trying to filter the genuine interest from the false promises. It wasn`t until they met their mentor: producer, songwriter Guy Barnes that Beau-t finally came to fruition. Having worked with 100`s of singers, Guy knew all about natural talent and he was bowled over by their raw vocals and assertive sound (he was also bowled over by Tara`s smile because the pair have been a couple ever since!), and started co-writing songs with them and developing the girls style. Guy sent their demo to Andros Georgiou who immediately asked to hear the girls sing live. On the day Andros came to see us Kelly totally lost her voice! Tara cringes, `She couldn`t say a word, let alone sing! But with their typical resilience, the girls carried on regardless and Kelly provided the attitude while Tara and Becky delivered the performance of their life. It worked. Andros was so impressed he started managing them. Beau-t`s music is full of attitude and fuses cool harmonic vocals with an aggressive rock sound . `Our songs are about fighting to get from the low end of life upwards, says Tara They`re feel good songs that tell ayone whoes got a problem with us to go f**k themselves! Whatever we write is feisty and opinionated`. Beau-T are set on bringing raw rock back to the mainstream like a mature Avril Lavigne with a little Bon Jovi. Citing their influences as Pink, The Stereophonics, to more older bands like Bon Jovi, Aerosmith the girls promise to deliver something catchy but with a harder, raw edge, along with their band led by Guy Barnes on Rythem Guitar, are veteren players Peter Lynsky on Lead and Rythem Guitar, Nigel Dobbs on Drums, Oded Avery On Keyboards and Peter Parker(no not that one!!) on Bass Guitar. However, unlike Avril Lavigne - Beau-t`s attitude is in music only. With Becky`s contagious giggling (and penchant for twiddling with her hair), Tara`s passion for clothes and horses, and Kelly`s coy demeanour (that is - until she`s had a few glasses of wine). Beau-t`and their band are about to kick off this summer by playing in and around London, so catch them at a place near you very soon.
