Today we’d like to introduce you to Tam Watts.
Hi Tam, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, by way of Desoto, TX and long before I had a platform, I was already a storyteller. Writing, poetry, music, and creativity were never hobbies for me they were how I survived. For years, I tried to place those gifts on the back burner while in traditional spaces, working corporate roles as a recruiter while building businesses, raising my children, and doing what I knew how to do best: build and engage. But underneath all of that, my gifts waited on my voice to align with my values while I was still being shaped.
That changed in 2012 when my brother was murdered. That loss cracked my life open. Not long after, I walked through a divorce that left me with a simple choice: float, swim, or drown.
So what followed were years of loss of watching everything familiar fall apart. But what I didn’t realize at the time was that God was stripping my life down to its rawest material so He could rebuild it with intention.
And what came next didn’t arrive as a strategy like many think. It came as expression. Music was the first place the pain went. House of Tam was born which my Christian R&B projects that allowed me to process grief, faith, doubt, and healing out loud. Around the same time, I launched Christian Doer, my clothing line rooted in the idea that faith isn’t just something you claim it’s something you live and work out in real time.
Each project wasn’t separate; they were all coming from the same place of obedience in motion.
That obedience eventually led me to authorship. My first book, Turning Your Greatest Loss into a Win, which was written before I fully understood that I was living its message in real time. Looking back, it reads less like instruction and more like the prophecy of me standing on the edge of what was unfolding, even when I couldn’t see it clearly. Since then, I’ve become a four-time author, each work reflecting another layer of growth, loss, and alignment.
Out of that same foundation came the viral brand Trap Bible Stories©️®️. What began as storytelling turned into intellectual property books, digital content, live engagement, and a growing community that’s hungry for scripture that’s honest, culturally grounded, and unafraid to tell the truth.
Everything that came before music, writing, businesses, loss, faith, survival pointed here because while my story is not unique, the Bible was the first to express every emotion that I’ve ever had.
Today, I’m an author, Christian 330,000+ follower content creator, entrepreneur, and intellectual property owner building faith-centered platforms across books, media, live experiences and stage plays. My work exists to help people encounter God without performance, pretense, or fear just truth, grace, love, and growth.
Where I am now wasn’t built overnight, and it wasn’t built without cost. It’s the result of choosing obedience when the path gave me a clear option but was unclear. But also me trusting God when the math didn’t always make sense, and allowing every painful season to produce something purposeful. I’m still building, still learning, and still walking forward but now, I’m doing it fully aligned with who I was created to be.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Ha… I’ve never met a person who had it easy. So I, in fact, won’t say I’m the first. My journey was shaped by loss, disruption, and rebuilding… rebranding, and often simultaneously.
One of the most defining challenges was the murder of my brother in 2012. I was lost then… It not only left me with a physical void, but also emotionally, spiritually, and practically. That loss, followed by a divorce, left me in survival mode.
If I can be transparent, there were moments where my full sense of direction was shattered. I had to decide whether I would drown in my circumstances forever or learn how to swim through them.
And when it comes to cultivating your gifts and talents, sometimes we minimize them especially when you aren’t surrounded by “yes men”. And I lost my “yes men”. However, I had to learn over time how to honor my creativity and calling without minimizing it to fit into a package that only is valuable if others were present to agree.
So, I spent years building businesses and working in corporate spaces while carrying vision that didn’t yet have language, funding, validation, or permission.
See… obedience often came before clarity, which meant I took a lot of risks without guarantees and built while still healing from loss.
Another ongoing challenge has been simply visibility. Choosing to show up authentically. It took me a while to find my voice, and when I finally used it, I still struggled with starting businesses, starting my music, starting content creation, starting to write my book, starting ministry because when I shared it, sometimes it wasn’t understood, embraced, or even validated. That can prevent a lot of people from continuing to do what they know they’re meant to do, because sometimes we feel like if we don’t get the yes or the validation, we’re doing the wrong thing. So we do a lot of start and stops until everybody in the room says yes. And I was surrounded by a lot of people in the room with me that said no… and maybe one or two said yes. And that can be so it’s deflating. Being misunderstood, underestimated, or labeled has been part of the cost of doing business that doesn’t fit neatly into boxes.
Despite all of this, those challenges became catalysts. Loss refined my voice. Instability strengthened my faith. Resistance clarified my purpose. Each obstacle forced me to build with intention, integrity, and dependence on God rather than comfort or approval of people. What once felt like setbacks ultimately became the foundation for everything I’m building today along side people who don’t have to be sold on it.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a multidisciplinary entrepreneur creative and intellectual property owner whose work lives at the intersection of faith, culture, and storytelling. As a content creator, I reach a collective audience of over 330,000 followers across Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, where I create think pieces and short and long-form content that makes faith accessible, honest, and culturally relevant.
I am a four time author and the creator of Trap Bible Stories©️®️, a viral faith based intellectual property that extends beyond books into animation, digital media, and live storytelling. The brand reimagines biblical narratives through a modern lens while maintaining theological integrity, which has grown into a recognizable movement with a deeply engaged community.
In addition to writing, I am a spoken word artist and a singer-songwriter under my music brand, House of Tam, where I create Christian R&B and faith-centered music rooted in testimony and reflection.
My creative work also includes stage production. I am a playwright and producer, with my second stage play set to premiere in Dallas Spring 2026 under D&D Watts Productions, a father-daughter production company focused on culturally rich, purpose driven storytelling.
I am also the founder of Christian Doer, a faith based clothing line where faith meets fashion, created to reflect belief through action rather than labels.
What sets my work apart is its cohesion. Every creative expression… whether book, music, stage, fashion, and digital content flows from a unified vision centered on faith, authenticity, and impact.
I don’t just create content; I build worlds, communities, and intellectual property designed to endure.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memories are more about presence. For me, my childhood memory is being around my family on holidays. It was just something about connectivity that drove everything. See, my dad is the youngest of 15, and my mom’s side and my dad’s side would all come over for the holidays.
I remember my family being so close-knit that when I used to invite friends over during the holidays, my family would be so infused that my friends didn’t know which side was my mom’s side versus my dad’s.
It was just like one big family, and we don’t see that much anymore. And so when I think of memories like what’s my favorite, I’ll simplistically just say every moment where everybody was in the room. Everybody showed up. Everybody was happy to see each other. I really do miss the 90s holidays.
