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.
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.
