Tallup living her dream

Jamaican recording artist Tallup is riding a wave of musical success, basking in the positive reception of her latest release, Bring Me.

The dancer-turned-deejay admits to be "living my dream right now", having experienced significant growth in her career. In September, she made her debut appearance at the New Rules Festival in New York and was blown away by the reception she got.

"I bring a different energy and it's very contagious, so people are going to feed off it," the artiste stated.

Tallup is by no means new to the limelight. In fact, the stage has been her friend for the longest while, having performed as a dancer for some of the top acts, and being crowned International Dancehall Queen in 2013. Since trading her dancing shoes for the mic, the Fancy deejay has been working tirelessly to make her mark in the new arena.

"My growth has been an amazing journey so far. I'm doing exceptionally well since my transition into music, and my audience loves my craft," said the crowd-pleaser. She said that Bring Me, a track produced by Black Shadow Music and Troyton Rami Music, has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback since its release last month.

Establishing herself as a long-term artiste, Tallup has been honing her craft and expanding her discography, with past releases including Visa Ole, featuring Shawn Storm. With her grand milestone checked off, she is focusing attention on her recent releases, as well as several songs in the pipeline, including Supernova and Bumpa (Shake It), which are produced by Headake Records and Dinesty Music, respectively.

Amid her rising fame, Tallup harbours dreams of potential collaborations with industry giants like Alkaline and Busy Signal. Her aspirations stretch even further, as she dreams of doing songs with the likes of Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott, Ciara, Chris Brown and Burna Boy.

Tallup remains grounded and thankful, acknowledging her family and devoted fans, affectionately known as the #Tallnation, for their unwavering support. She also recognises a higher power, stating, "Biggest big up to God because I'm nothing without Him. You can look out for what's next from Tallup."
