Young and talented are words used to describe Jamaica's newest singing sensation, Tamone. This budding star started singing at age seven (7) at a church in her community. This entertainer, who is also a songwriter, was introduced to Jah Snow Cone, who released her hit single, 'Sweet Dreams'.

Born in Kingston, Alecia Thompson, 'Tamone', grew up in Clarendon. She attended Clarendon College, Knox Community College, and St. Josephs Teachers' College.

This talented young lady decided to pursue her career in music. Having a quiet personality, she expresses herself best through her songs.

Aretha Franklin, Tanya Stephens, Mahalia Jackson and Lauren Hill are some of the females she admires, because of their individuality, performance skills, creativity, and aggression that they have brought to the business. She also respects the effort that female entertainers are putting out to establish themselves in the music business.

For her career path, Tamone is willing to work hard and fight for what she wants to achieve in the music industry. Her latest project is a new single, 'Touch the Sky', on the Applause Rhythm. It is somewhat a version of 'Sweet Dreams'.

Presently, she spends most of her time on the road promoting her music, meeting other people, and mixing with other entertainers.

Tamone has a very bright future in entertainment. Her desire is to soar to the height of excellent and touch the lives of many in the process.
