“I look at people like
Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood; it was not an overnight thing,” she told
the Star at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Toronto. I am not going to take on that pressure of, ‘Oh
is she going to be the one?’ If I can wake up and do what I’m doing and be
happy, put food on my table and make you happy by doing it, that’s success to
me. I’m not going to measure it in just sales. I can’t.
Chin

including reggae elements, and a variety that reflects her personality.
Before “The Voice” Chin who is best known for her song “Hideaway” made reference of the little support she received on local radio. Her album In Between Words went largely unnoticed in 2010

“I’m not bitter. At the
end of the day, they have to provide for what the demand is,” Chin said.
“Dancehall is king, there’s not a lot of room for singers there. I can work my

doing original stuff anymore and I think that hurts us.”
Tessane Chin hopes performers of all types will get equal
airplay in Jamaica and be taken seriously.
