With a degree in Fine Arts from California Institute of the Arts, where she majored in the ultra-creative-sounding experimental animation, Tanya Haden is well-versed in the world of art. Born in New York and raised in California, she's had a number of exhibitions in professional galleries, including one that involved elaborate Etch-A-Sketch drawings. In addition, she regularly shows off her paintings and other artistic endeavors on her Instagram account.
Haden, too, has been involved in music since she was born. Her grandfather was a songwriter, while her dad Charlie Haden was a well-known jazz bassist. Haden is a triplet, and she and her sisters, Petra and Rachel, have been singing together since childhood. As adults, the trio performs together as The Haden Triplets. Jack Black's wife admits, though, she sometimes has anxiety about their vocal gigs. "I really struggle with singing," she confessed to LaunchLeft. "It didn't come as naturally to me, so it was a little intimidating sometimes to sing with Rachel and Petra. I get really nervous." The mother of Black's two sons is also an accomplished cello player and has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the pop group Silversun Pickups.
Black is incredibly impressed with his wife's talent and her musical legacy. "Even though I was already married to Tanya and we had kids, when I was invited to be on the Haden family album, I finally felt like I was truly part of the family," he told The San Diego Union-Tribune.
