Born on three continents, fluent in four languages, and raised between cultures, Tanis is the embodiment of the modern global artist. Raised everywhere from the Caribbean to Asia to Europe – her music, like her life, crosses boundaries and blends traditions. In her brand new single ‘Priority’, she turns a deeply personal realisation into a song that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt overlooked in love.
Balancing cinematic production with heartfelt lyricism, ‘Priority’ captures the complexity of love and self-respect through a rich tapestry of sound, melding silky pop with textured harmonies and emotional depth. It’s a song that resonates universally, yet remains deeply personal.
“Not long ago I was offered a job opportunity in Los Angeles that I was so excited about. When I shared this with my then partner, I expected them to be excited for me but instead I was met with a look of disgust and irritation. I realised then and there that I was just a means to their happiness but what I wanted to do was not even a consideration. When I sat down at the piano after getting home, the lyrics just came to me…” says Tanis.
Following the success of her French-language single ‘Toujours Là’, which gained national radio play and video features on MTV Hits and CStar, ‘Priority’ marks a bold step forward in her bilingual musical journey.
‘Priority’ is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter. With more releases slated throughout the year, Tanis continues to captivate audiences around the world.
