Top Ten With Tanay Jackson
I’m inspired by: My own god given talent
I realized I wanted to play music when: At the age of 4. I was always dancing and singing in school and when I got home. I had nothing else in my brain but entertainment and art. Even up to this day I think like that.
Four songs you might find on my iPod: Bruno Mars: Locked out of Heaven, Chris Brown: She ain’t you, Ellie Goulding: Burn, Ed Sheeran: Sing
One word I would use to describe myself: Tenacious. I truly embody my name.
The best part of being a musician is: Being a musician is not really fun and games, this business is difficult. You really have to love what you do in order to say it’s fun. The best part for me is putting on a great performance and being appreciated for my work.
Right now, I’m most excited about: My new release “Addictedâ€. It got more ITunes sales and the video got more views than my last song “Naughty Girls Need Love†last year.
Something most people don’t know about me is: I made history last year by being the second person from my dad’s family to ever be asked to perform in the country of Romania. Was a triumphant experience and a great honor and I’m not even signed yet.
One of my happiest moments was: That moment hasn’t come yet for me. Maybe soon.
My music is: POP R&B. I hate putting labels on my music because I experiment with a lot of sounds. But if you had to describe it. It would be Pop R&B
In ten years, I see myself: Hard to say. Well, no one really knows what the future brings. Of course that far ahead I would like to be established in my career and possibly helping others in the field.

I love the pretty dress. She sounds awesome. I’m looking forward to checking out the album!
This is awesome finding out about artists we all love. Tanay Jackson is awesome and her new release is awesome. Thanks for sharing indeed.
It has a good beat and would be awesome to work out to! This is a new song to me, thanks for the introduction.
This sounds like it’s going to be a really good album. Normally I don’t listen to anything made after 1980, but I’ll make an exception for her. =D
