Tara Nome Doyle is a Berlin-based singer-songwriter, composer, and producer with Norwegian–Irish roots. Over three albums, several film and television scores, and a widening web of collaborations, she has built a distinct artistic world — rooted in psychological depth, folklore, and an instinct for beauty that borders on the mystical.
Her 2018 EP Dandelion introduced "Down with You," now past six million streams. Her debut album Alchemy (2020, Martin Hossbach) earned praise from SPIEGEL, who described her as "like Kate Bush singing songs by Nick Cave at Berghain." Værmin (2022, BMG), produced by Grammy-winning Simon Goff, brought further acclaim from FAZ, CLASH, Wonderland, Vogue Japan, and The Irish Times, with reworks by Craig Armstrong and string arrangements by Viktor Orri Árnason and Echo Collective.
In 2024 she released the self-produced EP Agape, an intimate document of grief; her third album Ekko (FatCat Records, 2025) was called "a luminous work of emotional excavation" by CLASH and "sonically ambitious and profoundly human" by Wonderland.

In 2025 Doyle composed her first feature film score, for Markus Schleinzer's ROSE, starring Sandra Hüller. The film premiered at the Berlinale 2026, where Hüller won Best Actress, and the score went on to win Best Feature Film Soundtrack at Diagonale.
Her music has long crossed into screen work, including original songs for Christian Schwochow's Munich (2022, Netflix) and Three Women (2024, Starz), both co-written with Isobel Waller-Bridge, and placements in HBO's Generation and Sonja Heiss's Wann wird es endlich wieder so, wie es nie war.
Collaboration runs through her practice — with Federico Albanese, Malakoff Kowalski, Max Rieger, in a duo with Erol Sarp (Blone) and as a member of Kat Frankie's choir project BODIES. She is currently completing Linden, a dark, folk-inflected EP with Italian musician Massimo Silverio, sung across seven languages — English, Norwegian, Gaelic, German, Friulian, Italian, and Tischlbongerisch — exploring linguistic identity and the bonds that persist across European borders.
(Her middle name, Nome, is pronounced "Noo-meh" in Norwegian and "No-me" in English.)
