About

Tai Woodville is a Portland-based poet, writer, singer, and songwriter whose work bridges word, music, and movement. 

Tai Woodville was raised on a working horse ranch in Malibu, California, in a multi-generational artistic family. She grew up surrounded by artists and activists, including her parents, British actor Kate Woodville and Mexican-American actor and activist Edward Albert--and her grandparents, actor Eddie Albert and dancer and cultural activist Margo, founder of Los Angeles' community arts organization Plaza de la Raza. 

A graduate of UCSB’s College of Creative Studies in Literature, Tai studied under poet laureate Barry Spacks and published her poetry collection Pollen (Finishing Line Press, 2011). Her writing has appeared in Atticus Review, Visitant, Lit Angels, and more. She has collaborated on multi-media poetry projects, including Her Animal Inheritance.

 Tai fronted the indie rock band Sugar in Wartime before launching her current project, Flight Call, which blends meditative vocals, vintage synths and analog drum machines. Her album Homeworld (2022) was called “a light-filled, avant-pop journey” (Vortex Music Magazine) and her music video “Diamond Age” was selected to be screened by PAM CUT at Portland’s Tomorrow Theater. She has performed at many respected live music venues, including the House of Blues, Ford Amphitheater, and Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel.

Tai lives outside of Portland, Oregon with her two cats and fellow musical partner. She is currently at work on several manuscripts. Periodically, she performs her music (and poetry) live.
