As the son of Guess Who/BTO guitarist Randy Bachman, 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. As a teen he increasingly lost interest in music, however, and instead went on to study political philosophy at a small university in Utah; there Bachman grew to accept his destiny as a performer, however, and soon quit school, returning to his native Vancouver in 1995 to begin writing songs. His self-titled debut followed on Columbia in 1999, scoring the smash hit "She's So High."
