ARTIST BIO: SWEET
TEA
In 1994 the Entertainment Industry was taken by storm when
the CEO of Massive B Records, Bobby Konders, released a Reggae
remix of Tony Braxton’s Breathe Again. No one could
predict then that a relatively unknown artist singing on the
track by the name of Tricia “Sweet Tea” Lovell
would become such a viable force that VP Records would dub
the single a “straight away hit” and “one
of the best reggae songs of the year.”
Still, that wasn’t where it all began. Born of Belizean
/ Jamaican heritage, no one was surprised when at the age
of six Sweet Tea’s natural flow began to emerge. After
moving permanently to the U.S., her skills where honed diligently
and with a few chance meetings and some good musical chemistry,
a star was in the making.
With the release of Breathe Again, Sweet Tea signed to the
record label Relativity/Sony which led to the song garnering
a music video which featured the vocal toasting of Baja Jedd,
which in turn established her place in Reggae history by becoming
a BET Channel (Black Entertainment Television) classic and
opening doors for her to perform with many Rhythm & Blues,
Reggae and Hip Hop artists such as MC Lyte, Biz Markie, The
Wu Tang Clan, Bobby Konders and Jabba and Hot 97’s own
Funk Master Flex. Recently, Sweet Tea’s musical talent
was showcased and well received when she performed alongside
Dancehall stars Beenie Man, Elephant Man,Sizzler Colange and
most recently, Atlantic Records Recording Artist Baby Cham.
After a short hiatus “Sweet Tea” is once again
recording with some of Reggae music’s production icons
such as O’niel Clarke of Checkmate Records & Production,
Phillip Smart of HC&F Recording Studio and Rickie “Mad
Man” Myrie, one of Reggae’s premier musical production
geniuses. With new and exciting tunes sure to showcase her
lush vocals and versatility, Tricia “Sweet Tea”
Lovell is ready to once again wear her crown and reign unanimously
and no doubt, with everything she gives, her re-emergence
has been well worth the wait.
