TEYANA... Whenever you say that name in Harlem NYC, it is promised to cause a major discussion. This 16-year-old phenomenon has changed the meaning to “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.” She has become the talk of Harlem. With the Movement that she has created with her Crew “Team Nerd,” they have broadened the horizons of young teens in Harlem USA. They made it cool to skateboard in the ‘hood’, to be an outcast, to be different, and to be confident in being yourself.
Within this past summer Teyana has innovated the "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance, assisted with the choreography for Beyonce’s Ring The Alarm Video and VMA 2006 performance, appeared on BET’s Black Carpet, as well as so much more. She then performed for Pharell Williams, Doug Morris (president of Universal Music Group), and Jimmy Iovine (Interscope) where she landed a recording deal with STARTRAK Music/Interscope, on the spot...
Teyana was born and raised in Harlem NYC where she became looked upon as a prodigy... At the age 4, was the 1st time she picked up a microphone in front of a crowd and performed. Due to the crowd's reaction she realized she wanted to be a singer/entertainer.
Soon Teyana was enrolled in many different talent competitions such as the world famous Apollo Theater, National all-stars talent search, etc. Her skill level was so far above her age group that she was forced to compete against adults. She is also an aspiring songwriter... This musical seed was planted by strong influences such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Lauren Hill.
As years go pass Teyana has learned to cultivate her talents to form her own original style. Her focus is to be the next young lady since Lauren Hill to shift the game in a whole new direction for others to follow. Be on the look out for this rising star.... Because TEYANA is coming!
