Whenever people ask her what kind of artist do she wants to be, she has many things to say. However she puts it this way. She wishes to be an artist of someone’s dream. As she dreamt of her goal when her saw someone, she hopes she can be that someone to other people to dream. Here is a lovely Korean singer, Tarin. 

The name ‘Tarin’ is a Korean acronym of guitar playing giraffe. Still many people ask her why giraffe but she simply likes giraffe for its unique shape and pretty prints. When she finally made the name ‘Tarin’, she really liked the way it sounds so she went with that. In fact, she joined Vanilla Acoustic in 2011 and has worked with them for 4 years until last year 2015. It was only this year she started thinking about what she likes to do. From this year, she has been making ‘Tarinous’ music to meet with people.

So, she released her first mini album ‘In the room’ in 2015 as a solo singer. Recently, she released a single album ‘Vacantly’ for being real Tarin who wishes to be an artist of someone’s dream. CultureM Magazine meets a lovely giraffe that plays guitar, song-writer Tarin.

누군가의 꿈이 되고 싶은 사랑스러운 송라이터, 타린. 그녀가 누군가를 보고 처음 가수의 꿈을 꾼 것처럼, 사람들이 그녀를 보고 꿈을 꾸게 만들고 싶다는 그녀. ‘한재원’이라는 본명보다는 ‘기타치는 기린’을 줄인 ‘타린’이라는 예명으로 활동해온 지난 5년은 많은 사람들에게 분명 행복한 꿈을 꾸게 만들어준 시간이었을 것이다.

2011년, 바닐라 어쿠스틱의 멤버로 시작해 활발한 활동을 펼쳐오던 그녀가 2015년 첫 솔로 앨범 ‘In The Room’을 발표한다. 그렇게 숙제처럼 반드시 풀어내야만 할 것 같았던 타린다운 음악을 하기 위해 홀로서기를 시작했지만 여전히 노래하는 그녀의 표정은 마냥 즐거워 보인다. 최근 싱글 앨범 ‘멍하니’를 발표하며 변함없이 즐거운 상상에 여념이 없는 솔로 가수, 타린. 컬쳐엠매거진이 기타치는 사랑스러운 기린, 송라이터 타린을 만났다.
