Tucker has also co-written "Oklahoma", the title track to Grammy-winning Blues and Americana artist Keb Mo's new album (2019).
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma as the third of seven children to music minister and gospel recording artist Doyle Tucker and singer Lynda Tucker, Dara Tucker started out singing harmony at the age of 4 with her brothers and sisters and began playing the piano at age 8. She traveled the country singing with her family for most of her childhood. Dara received her degree in International Business and German Studies eventually moving to Interlaken, Switzerland to further study German. It was there that Tucker wrote her first of several songs and where she was inspired to relocate to her current home in Nashville, TN.
