Tapps

Toronto-area Portuguese immigrant Allan Coelho wanted to fuse his enthusiasm as a part-time DJ and a constant clubber with his weekend pop dreams playing in local bands. Coelho, school mates Tony DaCosta and Paul Silva became French Kiss, at that time a wedding and event band. When change came to them musically, they decided a name change was in order. They put together the first letter of each of their given names, Tony, Allan and Paul, added an extra "p" and pluralized to became Tapps, and lead singer Candy Berthiaume was added to the mix.
