Tania Watt is a singer/songwriter based in Lansing, MI. She has been active in the local music scene since late 2008, however, she has been singing and writing songs for most of her life.

Her music can best be described as heartfelt, lyrics-driven, insightful, and soulful, characterized by enchanting vocals, simple strums, and intricate finger-picking on the guitar and sometimes ukulele. Authentic and vulnerable to the core, her songs are both deeply personal, yet highly relatable, telling stories about life, love, and loss that are reminiscent of conversations with an old friend. Filled with silver linings and lessons learned, her songs are ultimately a life-long story of trials, perseverance, hope, healing, faith, and change.

In addition to her own music, Tania has also supported other artists and cultivated community around the local music scene in a variety of ways throughout her career. She was the founder of the Lansing-Area Songwriter's Group, which was active from 2015-2020. Tania also hosted the Music Open Mic at Blue Owl Coffee in REO Town Lansing from its inception in August 2017 through December 2019, and also served as the Booking Manager for live music at the REO Town and East Lansing locations. Tania has also hosted various other pop-up open mics in the Lansing area at venues such as Elderly Instruments and The Brew Cafe.

Tania’s latest venture, The Good Neighbor Concert Series, seeks to bring people together for the purposes of promoting individual enrichment and healing, an increased sense of neighborliness and connection with the broader community, investment in the local, regional, and statewide musical and artistic community, investment in local charitable organizations, support for local businesses, improved overall health of the Greater-Lansing region. The series also seeks to elevate voices that would otherwise not, or seldom be heard in existing performance spaces (e.g., emerging artists, women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, various faith perspectives, and other minority/marginalized populations). Season 1 (2024-2025) will focus specifically on highlighting Michigan’s fantastic roster of female singer/songwriters, and will draw from a combination of local talent and artists from all around the state.
