Who do you perform with?
Tell us more about you.
I was born in Alexandria, Virginia, and raised in Chattanooga. I started my singing career at the World’s Church of the Living God. I grew up performing in local theaters, ballets, and commercials. I’m now raising my son here, and he also loves the arts. I have traveled all over the world, but Chattanooga is where I call home.
What Chattanooga experience do you rave about to locals and visitors?
I rave about our Tennessee Aquarium and our annual Riverbend Music Festival. My favorite place to perform is at Riverbend.
A little about the Malemen Show Band:
The Chattanooga-based group has performed for more than 25 years, providing stellar choreographed performances for various occasions. Tanyell is one of 3 female vocalists, who add soothing melodies while the band’s 7-member rhythm and horn section bring the funk and additional vocals. They’ve performed for U.S. presidents and shared the stage with The Gap Band, Parliament-Funkadelic, Boyz II Men, Cameo, and more.
