Tara Slone

A classically trained singer, Tara Slone, 31, is one of two contestants from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She studied theatre at Concordia University in Montreal, then moved to Toronto to pursue music. Her stage style is often compared to Chrissie Hynde and Pat Benatar.

Her former band, Joydrop, released two CDs, had a radio hit, "Beautiful," and ended up signed to Tommy Boy Records and made a video with Tommy Lee. She’s also appeared in several minor acting roles including a recurring role as "Gail" on La Femme Nikita. Her first solo album is nearly ready for release.

A Shambhala Buddhist, Slone describes the casting process for the show as "intense" in her hometown paper, The Daily News. “Singing INXS songs for INXS, that’s pretty stressful — a taste of things to come, I guess,” she says. “The competition was fierce. We’re dealing with really high-caliber performers.”
