Naomi T To Compete In 2015 American Idol

The Cascade Blues Association would like to say congratulations and good luck to Portland’s own Naomi Tatsuoka, who works locally under the name Naomi T, for being selected as one of this year’s contestants on American Idol. Naomi travelled to Kansas City a few months back to take part in the audition process and was sworn to keep the results under her hat until the show was Naomi-Tatsuoka-press photobroadcast in early January. The song that she sang in the audition was Adele’s “Someone Like You,” impressing the three judges, Harry Connick, Jr, Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban. The next step will take her to Hollywood, California to continue the competition which airs on the Fox Network.

Locally Naomi T works in a variety of projects that she fronts, including Soul Provider, The Diva Project, and August In Blue. She recently released her debut album, Flight Of  The Dragon and also appeared on the compilation Shari’s 3am Sessions.
