Tamla Kari was born and raised in Coventry on 27th July 1988. She attended Wyken Croft and Earlsdon Primary

Schools and later went on to Alderman Callow (now renamed Westwood) School and Community College. She started dance lessons at the age of four in tap, modern dance and gymnastics. At a later stage she also took up ballet, musical theatre and street dance and continued this training up until the age of 20.  Before gaining a place at Drama Centre London, she also attended a local drama group in Coventry called St Finbarr’s Youth Arts for a few years which specialised in performing Irish plays.

Two years after leaving school she moved to London to begin her course at drama school. During her 2nd term of

Centre were very supportive and released her from the course to film in Mallorca. After shooting finished, she returned to complete the final term and graduated with a 1st in BA(Hons)Acting.
