Biography and musical career

Bachman got his break when executives at EMI Music Publishing in New York City heard a demo tape, and aided him in securing a record deal with Columbia Records. Bob Rock (of Aerosmith and Metallica fame) signed on to co-produce his debut album. His first album, Tal Bachman , featured what would eventually become its hit single, "She’s So High," which reached #1 on three different radio formats in Canada. The song became a multi-format Top 10 hit in the United States and internationally, earning BMI's "Song of the Year" award. The album earned Bachman two Juno awards in Canada, and much media exposure, including appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, MTV, MuchMusic, and E Network; and profiles, interviews, and reviews in "Rolling Stone," "Q Magazine," "USA Today," "Interview," and the Los Angeles Times. In support of the record, Bachman toured as an opening act for Bryan Adams and the Barenaked Ladies, and also toured in his own right.

Bachman's second album, Staring Down The Sun , was released in Canada on Sextant Records in August 2004 and was released in the United States by Artemis Records in 2006.
