Born Shauna McKenzie, Etana spent her youthful days playing in the hill side community of August Town situated in the South Eastern side of Jamaica. A hardened fan of Reggae, Pop, Hip Hop and Jazz Musicians Etana found inspiration in Whitney Houston, Lauren Hill, Jill Scott, Sizzla Kalongi, Marcia Griffiths and the legend Bob Marley all of who eventually gave the then academic the will to explore a new and potentially more suited career in music. In 2005 a friend brought her to Fifth Element who at the time was prospering from the strength of Richie Spice who was heavily booked for several American and European Tours. Eager to make her own mark Etana boldly attempted a hit single one day while chilling with the guitar player and Percussionist from Richie Spice’s band. The idea had been floating in her thoughts for weeks and like magic the melody for her debut smash single "Wrong Address" was born. Simple yet effective the single was a fusion of Jazz and Reggae, it was the first of its kind and in 2006 the song was rewarded with heavy radio rotations plunging it in the number 1 position of several local charts. Etana is currently promoting her new singles "Warrior Love" and "I Am Not Afraid" off her soon to be released debut album ‘Etana the Strong One’.
