Gee opened for vocalist Tony Bennett and his orchestra after being the featured vocalist on various albums throughout her teen years. She released her debut album "Hidden Treasure" with Universal Music in 2007, while living in Poland. Her single from the album, "For Life", was voted unanimous winner of Piosenka dla Europy, the Polish final for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. Tamara and her song "For Life" was the first Polish entry in history to qualify for the Eurovision final since the new rules were designed in the contest and a French television commentator compared Gee's performance to Celine Dion. A portion of Gee's Eurovision performance was shown on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on "The World's Got Talent" episode with Simon Cowell where Gee sang with former participants Celine Dion, ABBA and Julio Iglesias. In 2007 Gee co-wrote and performed "Fate" on DJ Schiller's album "Sehnsucht". The album went triple platinum and was nominated for a Grammy. She released her solo EP "Christmas Angel" in 2009. On November 27, 2014, Tamara released a new highly anticipated album "Love, Tamara" of which she wrote with and was produced by Multi Grammy Award winning producer/songwriter Walter Afanasieff (Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, etc.). She has been named the next Celine Dion.
