I knew then that what I’d been writing previously wasn’t what I was truly capable of.” Tamara Savage with Monica and Big Jon Platt.Īs soon as Platt felt Savage was ready, he started setting up collaborations between her and such hit EMI writers as Soulshock & Karlin, and Jermaine Dupri. However, he wouldn’t completely shoot me down, and his criticism really helped take my writing to the next level. He’d tell me that certain parts of the songs needed more work, such as the hook or parts of the verses. “Big Jon would sit down with me and go through my songs. “It wasn’t easy for me in the beginning,” recalled Savage. He signed her to a development deal with EMI while she was still in college, and immediately began working with her. When he first met Savage, Platt was looking for a new writing talent, and recognized that even in her rough demos, she had strong potential as a writer. “He’s one of the few publishers I know that signs writers and really develops them.” “There aren’t many music publishers who are willing to take a chance on new writing talent, but Big Jon does,” said Savage.

While she was in college, she started writing and demoing more songs, and was introduced to her manager through a few friends. She won the lead role in the musical Once On This Island by singing over the phone to the producers of the play.

She has also co-written such hits as “Heartbreak Hotel” for Whitney Houston, and “When I Close My Eyes” for Shanice.īorn in California and raised in a musical family filled with songwriters, singers and musicians, Savage had aspirations at a young age of a career as a recording artist.
