Tanya began her singing career in 1989. A Toronto-born Reggae vocalist,
she has taken her brand of "lovers rock" to venues as far afield as the
United States, England, Antigua, and Jamaica.


In 1992 she performed at the annual Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay, like a
true Canadian, Tanya delivered her vocals in fine style gaining many new
fans and earning herself a place on the stage of the 1993 Reggae Sumfest.
At the latter event, she entered the stage on International Night among the
final four performers.	Although a relative neophyte at the time, Tanya
held her own among other Reggae stalwarts including Barrington Levy, Super
Cat and Junior Reid thus gaining the respect and admiration of an
appreciative audience. Tanya has also shared the stage with Grammy Award
winner Beenie Man, UB40, Wayne Wonder, Bryan & Tony Gold, Diana King, Snow,
Chaka Demus & Pliers, Buju Banton, Freddie McGregor, and Morgan Heritage to
name a few.


Emulating her rising fame Tanya was invited to perform on Singers Night at
the 1996 Reggae Sunsplash held at Chakka Cove, St. Ann, Jamaica where once
again she showed her true form and held the crowd mesmerized with her
dynamic performance.


Tanya has garnered eleven Canadian Reggae Music Awards, five Caribbean
Crucible Awards and has been nominated three times in the coveted Juno
Awards. In 1994 Tanya was awarded the Citizen.s Award for Arts Acclaim by
the City of Brampton, Ontario.
