Success isn’t determined by one’s physical appearance. That saying holds true and dear to Jamaican dancehall artiste and singer Tifa. Diagnosed Blount’s disease from an early age she never allowed the illness to prevent her from realizing her dreams and pursuing her musical aspirations.
Blount's disease is a growth disorder of the tibia (shin bone) that causes the lower leg to angle inward, resembling a bow leg.
‘I've had three surgeries. I spent most of my childhood in wheel chairs and crotches and in and out of hospitals and medical facilities in an attempt to make my legs straight. Following the third surgery the growth was stopped in my legs, because each time I grew the legs would grow right back out after being straightened’, Tifa explained.
She added ‘Growing up I got teased a lot. Guys have seen me sitting and when I got up and walked they didn't want to date me anymore. A gas station attendant once spat at my car because she said I was a disgrace for wearing a skirt and that I shouldn't have because to her I'm a handicap. Now being famous in Jamaica men wanna date me because they think it's sexy and girls wanna walk like me’.
Originally from Kingston, Tifa grew up in the upscale Graham Heights community of Kingston 8. She later relocated to the hot bed of the country’s commercial district, Duke Street in Downtown, Kingston to live with her grandmother after her parents split.
Following the death of her grandmother she went to live with her mother’s best friend, former Ms Jamaica World beauty queen Joan McDonald.
‘That was a different but fun time. I was lived in Barbican and Mona. I was exposed to the world of pageants and tea parties and the "socialite life". I then did my second surgery in grade two and during this period my mother decided to purchase a house in Jamaica. And after my common entrance exams I did my final surgery and she moved back to Jamaica permanently and I lived with her in the Acadia region of Kinston 8 uptown’, Tifa recalled.
Throughout her life, Tifa’s mother has been her towering strength.
‘My mother has been my towering strength and inspiration throughout my life. She and my dad had a bitter split and I didn't see or hear from him for years. But she stepped up and did what she had to do to make me have the most in life. I was never in need of anything’, Tifa revealed.
Tifa’s interest in music developed from an early age. Her stepfather, the popular music producer Garfiled ‘Sampalue’ Phillips taught her a lot musically.
‘Me and my step siblings were all sent to school and college so that's the direction he expected. But I used to watch him and the things he would do musically and the musicians that would come by the house’, said Tifa.
While attending Wolmers Preparatory, Tifa was actively involved in the School Choir, Drama Club and Wolmers Dance Troupe. As recognition for her choreography talents grew, so did her passion for singing and songwriting. In early 2005, she decided to put her music first, recording on her stepfather's record label Diamond Rush Records. She also collaborated with a number of his artists as well as others and sang backup for a short while. Tifa has since teamed with most producers in the Jamaica music fraternity. Tifa has been working really hard in the studio to produce highly talked about singles such as Kitty Police for TJ Records on the Show Off Riddim. She has had great success with her single Crawny Gal on the Dem Gal Sitt'n Riddim produced by Ward 21; the compilation CD was released to rave reviews in Japan where it was released and worldwide and Bottom of the Barrel was her first chart topping top ten single in 2008 on the dancehall charts.
Tifa also released the joint effort mix CD entitled “TNT – Three The Hard Way” with label mates Natalie Storm and Timber-Lee Heaven produced by New York famed DJ Max Glazer and The Federation Sound which was dubbed the maddest mix CD ever. Also in 2008 she did an extensive tour of Europe with her label mates and mentors Ward 21, which was very successful from which she became the first female reggae/dancehall artist to perform in the Czech Republic.
