I first met Tanya (stage name Teeh) back stage at a local Guam rally in Hagatna’s Skinner’s Plaza May 2008. The local artist performed a free 2 song set honoring the locals that came out and supported the Chule’ Tatte Guåhan rally.  Teeh, notorious for song titles like “F*ck the Bitch” and “Weed is not a Drug” Immediately got me curious as to what songs she was going to perform for the crowd.  As Teeh was making her way toward the stage, I quickly tapped her on the shoulder and asked, “What songs are you going to play?” She responded, “I think I’m going to start out with this song I wrote last night for the rally.”

After hearing her say that, I have to be honest, I didn’t believe this young girl could write a song, much less memorize the lyrics, melody and be stage ready in less than 12 hours…until she dropped her fist line of lyrics – “Hear the voices of the kids that pray for a brighter day.” That’s when I knew she meant business! The song spoke of hope, courage and self determination all of which we need in our lives right now more than ever. So without further ado, here is a post of Teeh’s second most viewed youtube video “I Want You” at a little over 850 thousand views. Let’s help her break another million! Guam represent!
