 Tali's music appeals to many audiences and some of her original songs are about difficult topics - thus using music as not only an  entertainment tool but also a vehicle for voicing topics into discussion. Tali has therefore performed at typical entertainment venues and also for events, causes, and atmospheres where the songs add to advocacy, discussion and action.
