ABOUT TEJAY

ALREADY ON HER WAY TO BEING THE NEXT SENSATION JUST LIKE RHIANNA!

Carib Music Group is Proud to Represent Tejay on our Roster of Artists.

A Diva who posseses one of the Greatest voices & more diverse than any Artist today! Fiery, sensual, beautiful and fierce, young Tonya Tejay Montague has risen to become the hottest female vocalist in the Barbados music arena & has achieved more Musical Awards than any other Artist in Barbados! Like so many others, Tejay began her singing career in Church where she performed in numerous choirs and groups. However, her smooth, alto voice and thirst for success was destined to take her to far bigger stages.

Tejay joined the award-winning gospel group “Instruments of Praise”, which allowed her to expand beyond the gospel realm into the more secular area of Caribbean Jazz, and led to her first recording project as a background vocalist on the group's debut CD “First Steps”. Those first steps were certainly that, as appearances at the Barbados Gospel Fest and later the acclaimed Barbados Jazz Festival soon followed. She also lent her voice on background vocals for major artists like Danah, Jesus Army and K.D.B. as well as Keann on the popular track “Scream”.

Emerging from the background, Tejay finally took her talent where it belonged to Center stage when she joined Strategy in November 2004 as their sole female vocalist.

With each performance she brings sophistication and style to the stage. Her gospel background displays the ease with which she delivers on the group's calypso and R&B tracks, yet her church-honed soulful vocal delivery sets her apart from her contemporaries.

With Strategy she got the opportunity to share the stage with major international stars such as Fat Joe, Dru Hill, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, Terror Squaq, Sean Paul, Maxi Priest and Soca royals such as Alison Hinds, Rupee and the Dot Com Band, Kevin Lyttle, Mr. Vegas, Krosfyah, Bunji Garlin and many others.

She not only shared the stage in Barbados, but also at the “Helen of The West Indies”, in St. Lucia. She performed as part of the massive BK Fashion Weekend, that was attended by the who’s who of the international music, film and fashion industries. In addition she also performed in the United Kingdom and more recently she attended the 2009 Canadian Music Fest where she also made her mark on the stage.

Tejay has successfully launched her debut album Summer Kisses and her video for “Chimmie Papa” not only in her hometown of Barbados but in Japan as well and she has sold over three thousand albums internationally. It is without a doubt that she is one to watch for the future not only as a singer and a performer, but also a skilled songwriter who is destined for true success.

Look out for this bright new star on your horizon as she will grace a stage near you soon.
