“Music has been in my bones since day one,” says Tami LaTrell.
Coming from a musical family, Tami fondly remembers her mom singing as well as her dad playing piano and bass guitar. “When I was a young child,” remembers Tami, “I sang and praise danced in church, performed in school talent shows and even joined a few girl groups.” As a teenager, songwriting became a trusted form of expression for Tami. Equipped with just a pen and her feelings she manifested an incredible career leading her to becoming a multi-platinum songwriter. Tami’s rich songwriting history includes writing for some of the most iconic female voices of our time, including Whitney Houston, Keyshia Cole, Monica and SWV.
“I learned early on how powerful music is as a healer and communicator,” says Tami, “I carried that into everything I did, from writing music to launching my company, The Mezzo Agency.”
Tami and The Mezzo Agency, based in south Buckhead, help independent music creators, songwriters, and entrepreneurs turn their songs into assets; helping them find and collect unclaimed royalties. Tami’s journey has evolved into a multimillion-dollar empire rooted in ownership, education, and protecting the legacies of music creators. Currently Tami is busy developing The Mezzo Agency’s co-publishing division, expanding her footprint from royalty administration into ownership of song assets. “I’m writing a no-fluff book to assist female creatives and entrepreneurs navigate the male dominated industry of music and entertainment.”
Tami believes in the harmony that life can offer rather than the simplicity of a typical work life balance; believing that achieving harmony means being intentional. Aligning her personal values and protecting her peace is a big part of Tami’s business strategy. “As a mom, entrepreneur, and spiritualist, my life is layered and rich,” says Tami, “there are seasons when work takes center stage and others when I’m prioritizing rest, motherhood, companionship with my partner, and personal healing.”
