As the son of <a href="spotify:artist:0cQuYRSzlItquYxsQKDvVc">Guess Who</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:5q4AzEtCoYJyXjMMoEkSU5">BTO</a> guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:1Q4aI4HsIQmidZrgCOAcBg">Randy Bachman</a>, Canadian-born pop singer/songwriter Tal Bachman was raised in a musical environment, absorbing the breadth of his father's enormous record collection and teaching himself to play guitar. He increasingly lost interest in music as a teen, however, and instead went on to study political philosophy at a small university in Utah. The move didn't last long, as Bachman ultimately quit school and returned to his native Vancouver in 1995 to begin writing songs. A demo tape helped him secure a deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Columbia+Records%22">Columbia Records</a>, and the songwriter issued his self-titled debut in 1999. "She's So High" became an international Top Ten hit the following year, leading to multiple television appearances and tours alongside Bryan Adams and <a href="spotify:artist:0dEvJpkqhrcn64d3oI8v79">the Barenaked Ladies</a>. His follow-up efforts -- the 2001 EP If You Sleep and the full-length 2004 effort Staring Down the Sun -- didn't fare as well, however, and Bachman made subsequent forays into other areas, including political commentary. In 2011, Bachman began recording again. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
