Tanya Stephens

Tanya Stephens is a celebrated Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist known for her sharp lyrical wit and fearless social commentary. Emerging in the mid-1990s, she quickly gained attention with her distinctive voice and hits like “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet” and “It’s a Pity,” which became a crossover success and remains one of her signature songs. Balancing conscious lyrics with catchy melodies, Stephens carved out a space in the male-dominated dancehall scene with confidence and charisma.
