Being born in Jamaica, race was never an issue. It was always about the type of person I wanted to be, not the colour of my skin.

Tessanne ChinIt was during this [as a kid] time that I came out of my shell vocally and performance wise, I learned how to really and truly sing in a different way.... my way. It was an amazing experience because I also realized my lifelong dream - to sing my own songs...I have something to say and it was a great release for me to share that part of myself with others.
