Tchiya is a student of several languages, “I can order dinner and get around town in many places!” she jokes. Many different languages are featured in songs on this CD. “Often referred to as the Island’s Robert Flack because of her soft vocal style, but similarities to Sade and Esperanza Spalding, a mild Erykah Badu, Sun Ra because of Tchiya’s fondness for unique instrumental arrangements,  and of course Bob Marley because of her oneness messages which are always featured in her song lyrics,”

“Her music is rooted in Roots Reggae, Traditional Native American, Afro Brazilian and Afro Cuban music, a blend of Indigenous and Contemporary world rhythms I call ‘Reggae Fusion Jazz.”
