Dannielle Shand more popularly known as ‘Tiana’, the ‘Dancehall Duchess’ has been breaking barriers in the local dancehall space and also in various other countries such as Europe, Africa, UK, US and the Caribbean. The young, talented and mutli-faceted female artist was born and raised in the beautiful parish of St. Mary in Jamaica and derived her musical inspiration from the creative art of music and the different genres which she has never afraid to explore.. In 2009 Tiana released her single ‘I Wont’ produced by her manager Carlington Wilmot from the famed Jamaican media house OutARoad.com. The single tackled issues of domestic violence which was a popular topic after the physical altercation between international superstars Chris Brown and Rihanna.
The single, ‘I Won’t’ garnered a lot of attention and further lead to the recording of a collaboration with dancehall artist and dancer Chi Ching Ching resulting in the single, ‘Skippin Feelin’. The collaboration was inspired by the Black Eyed Peas’ hit single ‘I Got a Feeling’ which featured an upbeat, up tempo and unique sound. ‘Skippin Feelin’ not only gained constant rotations on main-stream radio in Jamaica and the Caribbean but it also resulted in Tiana’s first major booking the greatest reggae/dancehall show on earth, ‘Sting’.
As her popularity grew, her fan base grew wider, Tiana released the single ‘No Man Can Talk Bad Bout Mi’ in 2010 as a counteraction to dancehall artist Konshens’ single ‘Talk Bout Me’. The single co-produced by SubKonshus Records and D&H Records received several number one spots on charts locally and internationally. With this momentum Tiana released the single ‘Dat Mi Want’ on the ‘Flirtation Riddim’ produced by Media House Productions with other major dancehall artists such as Konshens and Vybz Kartel to name a few.

In this year alone Tiana unveiled 11 music videos which made a clear statement about her drive and determination to create great music.
With her confidence and unique style it came as no surprise when her hit single ‘Dem A Bawl’ made it to the MTV Base Africa’s Top 10 Charts. ‘Dem A Bawl’ produced by SoUnique Records on the Aurora Sky Riddim also earned Tiana four weeks in the number one spot on Kenya's Rebel Liberation Sounds Top 10 Video Countdown.
