Hi Wanda be, thanks for your patience! I started out just hanging out on the sound systems around st. mary
Being female doesn't bother me at all because I dont let it

Hi Wanda be! Thanks for your patience;-) I started out chilling in the dances around the countryside in jamaica, especially in St. Mary. I dont think very much of being female. That helps me to get away from any stigma attached to it. I just work as an artiste so when anyone from the industry tells me I am the best female I ask, does this mean ALL THE MALES are better than I am? Gimme a break... I am very cocky about my capabilities because I know whether you like me or not I definitely have earned my space

[/ QUOTE ]Do you see yourself as celebrity?

As I hear some celebs say they dont see themselves as such.

Welcome Ms. Stephens!

I’ve enjoyed your music since the first time I heard “Yu Nuh Ready fe Dis Yet”, but I must admit after listening to Gangsta Blues, I became a fan. The intro captured my attention from the start. Particularly “At this stage of my lifetime to be honest with you I really don't care wether or not I have the approval of a few of my peers… [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]” Your uncompromising and honest style encourages me to imitate your strength.

1. Do you write all your lyrics?

2. How long have you been recording?

3. What is the message behind “Rebelution” and what song on that CD would you invite women to really pay attention to?

4. Will you be coming to the eastcoast in 2007?

Anyways you are a celebrity to me. When and if you are "living large" and have the amount of popularity and fame that you and all other "celebs" have, then you are one.

Like it or like it. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Tanya - thanks very much for your response. No problem on the double posting!
I am SO EXCITED YOU ARE HERE!

Only after you have answered all questions by others - and time providing, I have one more question.

QUESTION: Is there any song in particular right now that you get the most enjoyment performing? And if so, why?

Re: Post Your Questions For Tanya Stephens

Hi VI! yes i do write all my lyrics except in a case like I am woman which was a Helen Reddy song that I covered and added my two cents to. I've been singing since 1990, recording since just as long. Rebellution is intended to spark thought and hopefully objective and productive discussion. I would encourage everybody to listen to whatever seems logical to them and reject that which does not. That works well with my intention, which is ultimately to promote respect of everyones right to choose! I have no confirmed plans to visit the East Coast, but no doubt i should be there by 07

Re: Post Your Questions For Tanya Stephens

you are entitled to your beliefs chrissy, but anyone who knows me well would crack up at your comment. I am as far from celebrity as you can get, deliberately. I wont deny I am priviledged, that would be ungrateful, but i do not subscribe to the concept of celebrity and i suggest you do not either. It encourages people to discard their humility!

Re: Post Your Questions For Tanya Stephens

I have no problem playing anywhere I am invited if it makes sense.
