Born to a prominent Jewish family in Washington Heights, New York, Taali grew up learning the values of community. After years of vocal cord issues, which culminated in a surgery and Taali unable to sing herself, she leaned harder into writing for others including Mad Decent hip-hop innovator Jarina De Marco, gospel performer Mali Music, and José James, whom she later co-founded independent record label and multidisciplinary collective Rainbow Blonde with alongside producer/engineer Brian Bender. On her new EP, Taali examines the complex dynamic of female friendship. It follows 2019’s EP Were Most of Your Stars Out?. The titles of both EPs borrow from J.D. Salinger’s “Seymour an Introduction,” to complete a quoted phrase that informs Taali’s entire creative life: “Were most of your stars out? Were you busy writing your heart out?”
