She not only entertains and captivates her audience with her sexy voice, provocative lyrics and amazing six pack, she is also a leader at the forefront of her own movement.
Soul Pitch Streetwire caught up with Tanya, while she was ready to lay down some vocals....
SPm: Tanya, How are we feeling Honey? For those who still are trying to figure out if there's some new blood in the pop & r&b music realm introduce yourself...
T6: I go by the name of Tanya aka T6--Dame Grease's R&B Songstress
SPM: As an up and coming artist, what is your daily hustle?
T6: Every single day, I try to better myself vocally, prepare myself mentally and physically, etc. I eat, sleep and breathe music and everyday I make sure that I made progress and moved one stepped closer to my goals. Its about to be 2010, the grind gets tougher and tougher to make it to the top and honestly, I love challenges and I'm in it to win it!
SPM: With each track your style is so versatile, who are your musical influences?
T6: My inspirations are Bone Thugs & Harmony, Deniese Williams, Roberta Flack, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbara Streisand and Kim Burrell.
SPM: How do you pick your beats? What do you look for?
T6: Just like an A&R, I don't have to listen to a complete track to know if I like it or not. I can tell 20 seconds in. I pick out tracks depending on my mood - for example, if I wanna write about love, the track gotta have a certain feel to it.
SPM: Did you ever encounter any disrespect in the Industry?
T6: Not at all- Key thing is- The way you portray yourself has an effect on how people portray you. As I always say, I could care less about money, the finer things, a good name is worth so much more. That's one thing I love about my team, its alot of guys yes- but they have taught me how to shut em DOWN, and they respect and protect me. I'm their little sis!
SPM: What projects are you working on now? Are you preparing yourself for any college tours?
T6: I am currently working on an EP and some shows in the UK. Trying to end the year off with a BANG---POW! 2010 here I come!
SPM: Before we let you continue making them hits, the male fans would like to know are you single?
T6: Yes, I am single:)

SPM: Do you write your own music?
T6: Yes. I am also part of a songwriting team called "The Co-Wrotes" and we write for major artists and producers.
In the Industry, a women's job is never easy so we just can't imagine what an artist has to go through to prove herself, her skills and motivation to make it. It's more than just a game, it's a daily grind. To show everyone it's a serious hustle. So Tanya how do you overcome all those obstacles?
T6: Straight and to the point - If I didn't have the passion, drive, talent, and motivation for my music and everything that comes with it, I would not be where I am today. Dame Grease and Hunter (The Associates) just don't sign/work with anyone. You gotta have the overall package. You gotta be able to take constructive criticism, learn from experiences, and keep it moving.
BTW, I always hear people talk about female artist and their looks. Question for the readers, besides the most important thing - which is having talent, would you try to push a female artist who's physical appearance is not up to par? RYTE...talk about it!
