"Performing - it's all I've ever loved, all I've ever wanted to do. I'm going to do something extraordinary with my life, and you know what? I think I've already begun," says Tami Chynn.

Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica in a musically charged family, her parents were in an all-female "Frontline" Band called The Carnations. Tami's mother was one of the first female trumpeters Jamaica had ever seen. In fact, the house in which Tami grew up was once used to house her parents’ band rehearsals. Even more intriguing, this house now facilitates Tami's own band rehearsals and also the studio where her entire debut album was recorded.

Tami's unique multicultural background includes a mixture of Caucasian, Chinese, Cherokee, and African-American races. The result is a cultured individual, aware of the power of music and the idea that it is indeed universal.

Throughout Tami's career, she has had collaborative efforts with international Reggae superstars Sean Paul, Beenie Man, and Lady Saw. In addition, she has vibed with underground artists such as Assassin, and Wayne Marshall. Prior to her musical career, she toured with Shaggy as a backup dancer on his successful Caught Red-Handed Tour for "Hot Shots", his Diamond-selling album.

Obviously not a lightweight in the Reggae-Dancehall world, having performed two years in a row on the biggest reggae show in the world: Reggae Sumfest 2004 and 2005, Tami has proven herself to be an asset to the music industry. Since her sultry rise to recognition by a public still in awe of her incredible voice, entrancing lyrics, and rhythm wrapped within the smooth rhapsody of a true artist, Tami has managed to not only pursue, but also conquer her love of music. Her style and drive to succeed have fostered the development of a sound that breaks the mold of typical music heard on radio. It's a blend that inspires both movement of body and the settling of the soul.
