Hello, my name is Tam - cyber-socially known as Critical Diva - musically performing as Mara Spires. I’m just a single working mom who happens to be obsessed with the arts: mainly music, graphics, photography and poetry. It’s been my dream since childhood to be a pro in the music industry. I spent a lot of years trying to make that dream come true, but now I just sing and produce music for fun.

Over the past several years, I’ve taught myself web and graphic design and sharpened up my literary skills. I am inspired by life in general. If I had time on earth, I’d want to learn everything. So, I spend a lot of time learning new things, which breeds inspiration.

Video production has become my new crush. I’m also heavy into photography and digital scrapbooking. My creative interests are all over the map, cuz that’s just how I roll…one day, I’m singing, the next I’m flippin a makeup demo.
