In some ways, Tanya is like “one of the guys,” except she comes with a lovely voice, six pack and breast.
After spending a lot of time in the studio with rappers, she became aware of the negativity that is attached to being a woman of color in the entertainment industry, but this hasn’t stopped her shine.
“Being pretty and around guys, people always want to know why she [T6] is down. I’m not being out there and everything is straight business. I proved myself, but there is still more work to do,” says Tanya.
Aside from some of the drama that comes with being a star, Tanya takes pride in being an inspiration to people of any age group through her music and personal blog (thebestoftanya.com/blog)—both of which are used to offer advice. They include encouraging pieces and some of Tanya’s learned experiences.
“I try to post a lot of things to inspire,” she says.
Currently, Tanya continues to work on expanding her fan base, setting future tour dates and releasing more music. Her latest EP, “Pieces,” is now available on iTunes. However, she always updates her Twitter (@Tanyat6) feed with free, new music.
Ultimately, Tanya would like to collaborate with artists such as Prince, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Drake and Nicki Minaj. But for now, it’s all about hustling hard and enjoying life.
“No matter what anyone tells you, if you’re hot, you’re hot. Stay focused,” says Tanya.
