Release Notes:

Roots: Kingston, Jamaica Moment of Truth: Signed with Universal Records
in 2005 Flavor: Dancehall pop Cosign: “Her album is about to come out
and bust the world.”—Sean Paul

Tami Chynn seems a bit alarmed to learn that her villa at Jamaica’s
Grand Lido Braco Resort & Spa overlooks the nude part of the beach. Her
team came here to find picturesque settings for a photo shoot, but
right now she’s not loving the view. “Trust me,” she says with a laugh,
“it’s not pretty.”

Not that the 23-year-old Kingston, Jamaica, native is uptight, it’s
just that she has somewhat higher standards. After all, this is the
same songstress whose sexy shape was praised in Leftside & Esco’s
dancehall smash “Tuck in Yuh Belly.” She’s toured as a dancer with
Shaggy and collaborated with dancehall hot boys Sean Paul, Beenie Man,
and Assassin. And with Chynn’s breathlessly sexy single
“Hyperventilating” making the jump into mainstream radio formats,
Universal Records is convinced that she’s the future of dancehall pop.

Even with phrases like “the next Madonna” and “kicks Rihanna’s ass”
floating about, the former Tammar Chin manages to remain disarmingly
down to earth. “Growing up in Jamaica, I’m humbled every day,” she
says, tossing the blond hair out of her eyes. “And that’s no joke.
Once you’re old enough to recognize your surroundings, you’re humbled
every day by what’s going on.”

It’s no surprise then that Chynn reps hard for her homeland, even
though her fair complexion sometimes gets her mistaken for a tourist.
“She’s not a Jamaican,” she quips about the whispers she sometimes
hears. In her words, Chynn’s a multiracial “mutt” who defies
stereotypes and personifies the Jamaican national motto, “Out of many
one people” (hence the title of her debut album, Out of Many... One).
Chynn’s true heritage is musical: Her mother, the child of a white
British woman and a black Jamaican man, played trumpet; her father,
who’s mostly Chinese with a bit of Cherokee, was a drummer. “My family
is too mixed up for me to discriminate,” she says. “Who knows who’s
what and who cares—as if we all don’t bleed.”

But don’t confuse Chynn with some sort of dancehall Britney Spears.
First of all, she and her talented sister, Tessanne, are the ones
writing tunes like the enticing “Looky Looky,” which bristles with a
shamelessly catchy hook. Plus, she’s determined to push herself and her
music beyond the usual creative (and commercial) limits. “Injecting
something different into dancehall isn’t the easiest thing,” she
admits. “But I want to see Jamaican music move out into the world, even
bigger than it is now. And I love to toe the line. So hopefully, I’ll
toe the line all the way to the top.”

Listen to this CD, if you like it, don't buy it, and don't delete it
from your computer so you can save yourself some $$.

Enjoy.
