VIDEO: ETANA


Shauna McKenzie (born May 22, 1983, Kingston, Jamaica) known commonly as Etana is areggae singer from Jamaica. Her debut album "The Strong One"[1] was released in June 2008.

While in the studio with the guitarist and percussionist from Spice's band, Etana put together the song that heralded her arrival Wrong Address. Audaciously fusing acoustic folk with roots reggae rhythms and strains of neo soul influences Wrong Address was based on the experience of Etana’s aunt being told to lie about where she lived in order to gain employment.

The compelling single, which resonated with many hard working Jamaicans who live in poor communities that are further stigmatized because of gang related violence, was duly rewarded with heavy radio rotation, reaching the number 1 position on several Jamaican charts. Etana’s second major hit Roots was inspired by her travels to Africa (her very first solo performance was in the West African nation of Ghana where she was showered with overwhelming adulation).
