Bessie Smith was nicknamed the “Empress of the Blues”,
Aretha Franklin was labeled “Queen of Soul". Whitney Houston,
Madonna, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and a host of
other female artist have at one time or another held the title as
the “Queen Of Pop”. Mary J. Blige is highly regarded as the
“Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”, while Lil Kim is affectionately known
as the “Queen of Hip-Hop”, but many say that Nicki Minaj may
have dethroned her. But as we move into 2018 there is a new
Queen on the rise, who is capable of wearing every last one of
those crowns and she goes by the name of Na’Shay.
Tiana Nashay Stewart was born in Tuscaloosa, Al. and was
introduced to music at a very early age. Her mother, who was a
drummer and musician in a blues band, would allow young
Tiana to sit in on studio sessions and sing. As TT (which was her
childhood nickname) got older, she began singing at church in a
quartet that consisted of herself, her mother, 2 aunts and her
sister. Around the age of 13, TT started spending more time in
the studio with her mother, learning how to write song. When
TT entered the 9 th grade, she was so fond of music that she
decided to take up music appreciation. The more Tiana began
to learn about music and how it was structured, the more she
honed her writing skills. Every day she would listen to her
favorite artist, which included the likes of Monica, Anita Baker,
Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Gladys Knight, and R. Kelly. This

is when she was thoroughly convinced that being a recording
artist and performer was her destiny. Tiana started living with
the motto of becoming a superstar. She would often say to
herself “I am going to sell millions of records, I am going to
break records, I am going to show the world, that a little brown
skinned girl from Tuscaloosa, Al. came be a superstar, and
Na’Shay is who she will be”.
Fast forward to 2015, Na’Shay hit the studio to start recording
with a local producer by the name of Prince Kalub aka Y.A.
Instantly they realized that they had an uncanning chemistry.
Na’Shay with her exceptional writing skills and Y.A. with his
keen ear for constructing & composing tracks that fit her words
perfectly. As a result, some extraordinary material was
produced. In 2015, Na’Shay featured on a song titled “Stand for
Something” by an artist named Zo. Also, in October of 2015,
Na’Shay release a single title “Crazy Stupid Love”, which
received great reviews in her hometown and surrounding
areas. But, on May 26, 2017 the day that the single and video
for “Henne” was released, that’s the day that Na’Shay started
to see her dreams manifest into reality. With over 5k views on
YouTube in less than a week, along with several radio, internet,
and mixtape dj’s playing her song, NaShay was gaining a large
fanbase at a rapid pace. Upon, realizing the results of
“Henne”Na’Shay knew she had to follow-up with something
