Shame she isn’t global. Lyrically she is on another level not just locally but internationally. If she had crossed over to America she’d have lots of Grammys and billboard hits. I’ve heard her sing complete songs in standard English so that wouldn’t be a problem. Rebelution was robbed a Reggae Grammy. If an American artist sang Do You Still Care maybe India Arie it would have won Song of the Year. The lyrics capture 2023

Tanya Stephens is remarkably one of the greatest artists that ever graced reggae music. Comfortable in her own skin, because she is always so positive even in negative situations. Born psychologist, I’m convinced that she should get a degree in this. She is very unique and I liiiike her. Because of her Mr. Mention song, a African called me that name in NY back in the early 2000s. Long and short, me and the African girl got involved because of her song. Big up yourself Tanya, you are a Pillar in Reggae Music and I hope one day I will have my own reggae awards to honor you like you deserve. Much love and respect
