A little about the Founder:
Tamanie Dove, also known as Tami Dove, grew up immersed in the music scene, frequently backstage at the Grand Ole Opry. Her mother, Carole Dove, who worked at Tree Publishing (later becoming Tree International and now Sony/Tree), introduced young Tamanie to the music industry, taking her to business meetings, performances, and the homes of renowned figures in the music business.
Throughout her life, Tamanie cultivated enduring friendships with some of the most renowned singers and songwriters in Nashville, the United States, and abroad. These connections have been the most rewarding aspect of her journey, motivating her to embark on a new chapter to assist individuals like herself and support those aspiring to fulfill their musical aspirations.
Sadly, Tamanie Dove lost her mother, affectionately known as “Mama Dove,” to Covid-19 on Tamanie’s birthday in November of 2020. Tamanie believes that not only did heaven gain a new angel that day, but she gained a guiding spirit from her late mother. “Mama Dove,” with her extensive experience in the music industry, particularly on “the row,” having collaborated with luminaries like Buddy Killen, Curly Putnam, Jack Stapp, and having clients such as Roger Miller, Randy Travis, Sawyer Brown, Little Texas, Dr. Hook, Faron Young, and many others, has been a profound influence and life lesson for Tamanie. She remains committed to paying it forward.
In the past eleven years, Tamanie has written and recorded over a hundred original songs, resulting in fifteen albums to her credit, and she shows no signs of slowing down. Her talented and versatile sound engineer, her son, Matt, has been her trusted collaborator on many of her works, which are available on various social media platforms worldwide.
Tamanie’s vision extends to helping everyone, continuously. From championing the cause of independent artists to licensing the ISSA trademark and investing substantial personal resources, she is dedicated to ensuring fairness, integrity, and professionalism in the music industry.
THE ISSA TEAM
We could never accomplish all of this alone. The International Singer-Songwriters Association operates around the clock, 365 days a year, with an unwavering commitment from a dedicated team working tirelessly behind the scenes. We want to take a moment to recognize and express our deepest gratitude to these extraordinary individuals for their passion, dedication, and selfless efforts in making this all possible—for you—every single day, without compensation.
They are not eligible for ISSA Awards, nor do they do this for recognition or financial gain. They do it for the love of the music community and for the artists we support. We encourage you to meet them, thank them, and congratulate them on a job exceptionally well done, year after year. Together, we are building something far greater than an organization—we are driving a powerful movement in the music industry. And that is exactly what ISSA has become—a movement. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
