get to know tenza

Tenza, hailing from Kempshot of Montego Bay, Jamaica, is a musical angel in disguise. Born and raised in a family of fifteen, which consisted of nine brothers and 5 sisters, she grew up in a life of struggle and disappointment so she certainly knows how to appreciate all of her blessings that she has been given and her musical talent was definitely one of those blessings not taken for granted.

Tenza left Jamaica when she was only fourteen for the UK. She had to leave all her friends and family, and begin a whole new life in England. At first, she found it hard, but she soon got back into her music, and took it from there.
She has always retained a strong passion for Dancehall and Reggae; music that was so prominent in her life. Living the life she lived back in Jamaica, it was the empowering and highly uplifting sounds of Bob Marley, Yellow Man, Beres Hammond, Bounty Killer, Denis Brown, Lady Saw, Super Cat and Beenie Man that kept her faith and hope strong through out all these years to make it and become what she has become today.

Over coming many obstacles, Tenza’s skills had created an opportunity for her to become a member of the electric trio ‘Fya’ - the formerly Def Jam signed female dancehall group. ‘Too Hot’ and ‘Must Be Love’ being a couple of the many hits Gold selling ‘Fya’ released. Now currently working on her solo career, Tenza is set to release her debut solo album and has also been working vigorously day and night in the studio on a compilation album for Universal Japan which will be featuring a number of top Jamaican artist. She has not only been working with top European producers but top Jamaican producers as well all in the effort to re-launch her career as a solo singjay in the industry.

Music has always been a part of Tenza’s family. Other members of her family are also in the music business. Her cousin, Eddie Fitzroy, is a famous singer in Jamaica, he had a hit song with ‘Prison Life’, so don’t expect nothing less from Ms. Tenz; the trio Fya might be gone but Tenza is still blazing hot with music
