Sarah McTaggart of Transviolet

Author: Dr. Bill Dorfman® April 17, 2024 Duration: 21:48
Meet Sarah McTaggart, a musician who began in church choirs before studying animation in college, shares her journey from open mic nights to leading Transviolet - a band that soared after Katy Perry tweeted about their song "Girls Your Age." Sarah met her husband Chris through music; they taught each other piano and guitar respectively. Their passion led to Transviolet's formation in 2015 when they had to rethink their original name due to legal reasons. Now independent artists running their own label since 2019, Transviolet plans a European tour while Sarah dreams of Grammys performances within five years. She advises aspiring musicians not to fear imperfection but embrace it as growth towards excellence despite industry competitiveness or self-doubt. As Dr. Bill closes out his enthusiastic recounting of Sarah’s story—with hopes for his daughter Ana opening on Transviolet’s upcoming tour—he reminds listeners that perseverance turns obstacles into stepping stones toward success.
