Tiana hits MTV

The 'Dancehall Duchess', Tiana, has earned international recognition with her hit song,' Dem A Bawl'. The popular song has hit MTV Base Africa's Top 10 Charts.

This is a significant stride for the up-and-coming female performer. She has been enjoying success with the track that has been riding local charts since early summer.

Tiana's global reputation has been enhanced now that she has a MTV Top 10 spot to boast.

The video is also occupying the No.1 spot on Kenya's Rebel Liberation Sounds Top 10 Video Countdown.

"I got two IRAWMA nominations earlier this year. Dem A Bawl has hit all the top charts in Jamaica, plus MTV, now. I've been getting bookings for a number of events, I am very grateful," said Tiana.

Loyal fan

She has built a loyal fan base in the Motherland. Her collaboration with Gambian recording artiste G-Faal has assisted in blazing her trail.

She has been receiving significant airplay in Africa and has acquired a vast amount of her 1.8 million youtube views from that territory. The music video for Dem A Bawl stands out with cameos by popular dancehall artistes, Konshens, Gyptian, Elephant Man, ZJ Liquid, DeMarco, KipRich, Flexxx and Delus, all endorsing the budding entertainer.

The track, produced on the Aurora Skies (Sounique Records) infiltrated the airwaves this summer, along with a number of other tracks such as Watch Dem a Watch Me, One Stuck Whine and Don't Stop. A video for Don't Stop is in post production and will be released soon.

"This year has been a great one," said Tiana, as 2012 marked the release of her debut EP, Princess of The Dancehall, as well as her debut mixtape, Real Bad Gyal. Real Bad Gyal features prominent acts like Tommy Lee Sparta, Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, Mr Vegas and Konshens.
