♫ HOT OR NOT: TAMI CHYNN - “HYPNOTICO”
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Meet Tami Chynn. You may think you don’t know who she is, but I’m sure you’ve got a glimpse of Ms. Chynn in Akon’s “I’m So Paid” video. Interestingly enough, I was very intrigued by Tami’s bio. She’s of Chinese and European decent, but a born and raised native of Kingston, Jamaica. Chynn studied the performing arts in London, but returned to her Jamaican roots, taking lessons from Jamaican artists such as Beenie Man, Sean Paul and Lady Saw, all of whom she’s collaborated with in the past.
Now, Tami is working on her first U.S. release, Primadonna, with none other than Akon and RedOne (responsible for the #1 song in the country right now, Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance”) via KonLive, through SRC/Universal Records.
Usually, I’m not a fan of dancehall music, but Tami cites her influences as Sade, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Gwen Stefani and Gloria Estefan. When asked of her influences, here’s what Tami had to say:
“My influences are very eclectic. If you browsed my iPod, you’d get confused, but it all works really.”
Make sure you check Tami out on MySpace and show her some CL love if you’re digging her sounds!

#36 jess you call yourself representing for the west indians, but you are here putting down rihanna. You should be supportive of anyone coming out of the west indies and doing their thing. Its alright to support Tammy, but you don’t have to cry down rihanna to do so.

ii’ve been a fan of Tami Chynn for about 4 years now and ive loved most of her work. this new stuff is a lil commercial and not quite her..judging from her past work, but its good stuff anyway..she is GORRRRGEOUS and she has the most fascinating carribbean accent. its good that she is now finding more exposure, but its still quite sad that, for anyone to be anyone, they have to be someone in the US of A first…either way..im happy for her.

I like this. It’s cool a upbeat song. I think this one will go on the ipod. CL has been on a roll lately. This is the 3rd artist in a row they’ve introduced that I like.
