Caribbean Heat: Tessanne Chin

Written by Trent | Filed under Caribbean Heat

Jamaican Reggae Fusion artist Tessanne Chin.

Caribbean Heat is heading back to Jamaica for another dose of the countries exciting culture. However, today’s featured artist isn’t just another Reggae or Dancehall music act. Rather, Tessanne Chin is a performer for the future!

With her unique brand of Reggae Fusion, Chin has combined the sound of Reggae, Rock, Soul and Pop to create a thrilling style of music. In fact, the 26-year old has already been tipped to be the next major breakout star from the West Indies!

Watch some of Chin’s most popular music videos below:

‘Black Books’

‘Hideaway’

‘Loving You (with Kees)’

‘Messenger’

What makes Chin interesting is the fact that she doesn’t limit herself to the typical sounds of Reggae or Dancehall. An artist with her looks could easily have become yet another female performer singing about her ‘pumpum’ but instead she is focused on developing her true talent.

It would be fantastic to see Chin venture to the global market. She is a formidable mix of Kelly Clarkson and Pink with a Reggae edge that could give her the edge to crack US Top 40/Mainstream radio in a major way!
