Tara Nome Doyle is a Berlin-based singer-songwriter with Norwegian–Irish roots. Her middle name, Nome, is pronounced “Noo-meh” in Norwegian and “No-me” in English.
She debuted in 2018 with her first single Down with You, which has since surpassed six million streams.
Her conceptual debut album Alchemy (2020, Martin Hossbach), co-produced with David Specht (Isolation Berlin), received widespread acclaim, including SPIEGEL’s description: “like Kate Bush singing songs by Nick Cave at Berghain.”
Her second album Værmin (2022, BMG), produced by Grammy Award-winning musician and engineer Simon Goff, earned international recognition from outlets such as FAZ (“Germany has a new star”), Wonderland Magazine, CLASH, SPIEGEL, Vogue Japan, NRK, The Irish Times and Hot Press.
In 2024, Doyle returned with her self-produced EP Agape, an intimate collection of songs documenting her emotional journey through grief and the loss of a loved one.
Her third studio album Ekko was released on April 11th, 2025 by the UK-based indie label FatCat Records. The album received significant critical praise, with Ekko described by CLASH as “a luminous work of emotional excavation,” by Wonderland Magazine as “sonically ambitious and profoundly human,” and by The Line of Best Fit as “a concise yet expansive record that reveals new depths with every listen.” Spanning just 30 minutes, the album ventures outward into the unknown and inward toward the self, exploring pain, farewells, new beginnings, and ultimately acceptance.
Following its release, Doyle embarked on a European tour and appeared at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton.

Collaboration plays a central role in Doyle’s work. She co-wrote and co-produced the 2021 EP The Moments We Keepwith Italian pianist Federico Albanese (Mercury KX/Decca/Universal), and has worked with artists including Malakoff Kowalski (Bad Dreams), 1k Flowers (Clemency), and Max Rieger (Neon Woods, Caterpillar). Værmin inspired reworks by Craig Armstrong (Romeo & Juliet, Love Actually), Meredi & Lisa Morgenstern, and a series of string arrangements crafted with Viktor Orri Árnason and Echo Collective.
Doyle is a member of Kat Frankie’s choir project B O D I E S and has recently formed a new band with Erol Sarp (Grandbrothers).
Her work frequently intersects with film and television. She appears in Christian Schwochow’s Netflix/USA feature Munich (2022), performing an original song co-written with Isobel Waller-Bridge—her first performance in German. Their second collaboration, sung in Norwegian, appears in the series Three Women (2024, Starz). Too Lost to Be Found, co-written with Albanese, was featured in HBO’s Generation (2021). Her commissioned choral work, a cover of Can’t Help Falling in Love, and a remix of Caterpillar appear in Sonja Heiss’s film Wann wird es endlich wieder so, wie es nie war (2023).
In 2025, Doyle composed her first full-length feature film score, set for release in 2026.
