Tanya Stephens to headline acoustic show

Dancehall-reggae star Tanya Stephens has been confirmed as the headliner of Bamboo Splash Acoustics Live, which will be held on April 28 at the Bamboo Splash Lawn on Barbican Road in St Andrew.

"This is a highly anticipated show because Tanya Stephens is a marquee performer, very outspoken, and widely regarded as one of the most lyrically gifted female artistes in reggae music ever. The whole industry is buzzing about this live acoustic showcase," said Natalee Jacas, operations coordinator of Bamboo Splash Entertainment.

The Acoustics Live series started off with a much-talked-about event last month which showcased emerging stars Yaksta, 10Tik and Jahshii. Jacas said that there will be live showcases held on the last Thursday of each month with the creme de la creme talent of the reggae industry.

Tanya Stephens is a hit machine, churning out megahits such as Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet, It's a Pity, These Streets, What's Your Story and After You. She writes all of her hits.

She also pens songs for other artistes, including Spread Love, which was featured on Etana's Grammy-nominated album Reggae Forever.
