I am an advocate for the Caribbean folks using the internet to push their products, message, and artistry. As more artistes bring their vision online, I am happy with the progress and steps many artistes from the Caribbean are making. Tessanne.com was registered two years ago, the registrant is Sesa Consulting. While this website clearly is for Tessanne Chin, I am always alarmed when the domain is not directly owned by the artiste, I am unsure if Tessanne actually owns this domain through an alternative agreement. However, if she is not listed as registrant somewhere on Whois, I am left to question ownership.
About Tessanne
Tessanne is the fresh soulful voice of a new generation of Jamaican musical talent. Her sultry fusion of Dancehall and Reggae with a edgy rock riffs mixed with the honest, heart felt and conscious lyrics she pens herself create a musical style that is uniquely her own. Her exceptional vocal talent and her exotic looks - mix of Chinese, White, Cherokee Indian and African heritage give her unmistakable stage appeal. At the age of 22, Tessanne has already opened on stage for such musical greats as Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack, Atlantic Star and Boys 2 Men. She also toured the world as a backup singer with the Reggae Legend Jimmy Cliff for Three years. It was during that time that her love for the road, music and the stage was sealed.
"I always knew that I was gonna end up singing or have something to do with music, but touring gave me a chance to really test the waters, to know my limits... more than anything, it just fired me up even more to get out there and want to do my own tour". Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Tessanne was introduced to music at a very early age by her parents. Her mother was the trumpeter/ singer in her band called the "Carnations" and her father was the drummer. Tessanne started her stage career when she was 6 years old with Cathy Levy's "Little People and Teen Players club" one of Jamaica's top performing arts schools. Most of her vocal coaching came from her mother and also from noted vocal coach Lecie Wright.
