One of today’s most successful songwriters, Ali Tamposi wrote or co-wrote many of the blockbuster songs of the previous decade starting with Kelly Clarkson’s megahit Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) in 2011; Camila Cabello’s Havana in 2017; and most recently, 2019’s No. 1 summer song Señorita for Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.

Tamposi, who is only 30, has also written hit songs for Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato and One Direction.

Stronger became Kelly Clarkson’s biggest commercial hit to date, and earned multiple Grammy nominations including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Señorita was the No. 1 streamed song of 2019 and named the year’s best song by E!, People’s Choice Awards and MTV. Tamposi also won 2019’s BMI Pop Songwriter of The Year award.

The classic Mediterranean-style home that she bought in 2017 in LA’s Los Feliz neighbourhood echoes her artistic good taste. Built in 1939, during Hollywood’s

glamour period and undergoing an extensive remodel in 2015, the gated three storey home with guesthouse is white, bright, spacious and contemporary inside. It pays respect to its era with impressive tilework, large fireplace, a great room with a 15 foot high ceiling and balconies with wrought iron railings.

One special feature is a roof terrace with a fire pit and views of the Griffith Observatory. Measuring 3,521 sq ft, the four bedroom, five bath home has a large gourmet eat-in kitchen with an island, marble countertops and appliances, and a wall of French doors that open accordion style, creating a vanishing threshold between the kitchen and entertaining space in the pool patio.

There’s also a pool house with a convenient kitchen. Outside are grape vines, a lemon tree, and a saltwater pool with a spa and shallow lounging area. Although it has quite an Old Hollywood history, Los Feliz is home to many of today’s top stars including Kristen Bell, Jon Hamm, Colin Farrell, James Cameron and Angelina Jolie.


FOOTNOTE Listed at US$ 2.8 million in November 2019, Tamposi’s home sold for over 3 million dollars in less than a month. The listing agent was Sebastian Wolski of Compass, Los Angeles.
