Tanya Blount
Actress, musician and author Tanya Blount, now Tanya Trotter, signed with Bad Boy in 1996 and recorded a second album there that never came out.
Tanya Trotter (formerly Blount) has one of those voices that stops people mid-sentence the first time they hear it: power, control, spirit.
Early screens remember her from Sister Act 2, standing next to Lauryn Hill and singing like the room owed them rent. Then she carved her own R&B lane with Natural Thing (1994), soul records with adult emotion.
In 1996, she signed with Bad Boy and began work on a second album that was never released. That era still left official traces in the catalog: Tanya appears on the 1999 Bad Boy promo EP Bad Boy Entertainment Presents: Emotional with “The Last Time We Made Love,” a key breadcrumb for this chapter of her timeline.
Life kept evolving, and so did Tanya. Today she’s half of The War and Treaty, bringing country and soul together, raw and romantic.
She’s listed on this archive because the Bad Boy universe touches many eras and collaborators, and Tanya Trotter is a world-class voice.
