Tessanne was introduced to music at a very early age by her parents. Her mother was the trumpeter/singer in a band called The Carnations and her father was the drummer. Tessanne started her stage career when she was six years old with Cathy Levy’s “Little People and Teen Players Club”, one of Jamaica's top performing arts schools. Most of her vocal coaching came from her mother, and also from noted vocal coach, Lecie Wright.
Tessanne learned firsthand about cultural diversity when she moved to England at age 12. She devoted a lot of her time to songwriting to express her feelings about her new life, in what was to her, a completely different world. Upon her return to Jamaica, Tessanne joined the Jamaican Rock Band, Mile High and performed for crowds at numerous local venues, including Jazz Fest, Rock Fest, and RETV Unplugged.
Tessanne left Mile High to pursue a solo career. She recorded tracks with producers Rudy Valentino and Paul Kastick. Creatively, she draws on the strengths of a diverse group of musicians, including Celine Dion, Pat Benatar, Diana King, Papa Roach, Bob Marleyand many more. With such powerful influences to inspire her, Tessanne is creating music with her own bold signature style. Songwriting for her is a very real, organic process, just some notepaper and her acoustic guitar. A purist at heart, she believes there is life and magic in live music that can't be duplicated using computer-generated tracks.
As a solo act, Tessanne has already opened on stage for such musical greats as Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Peabo Bryson, Roberta Flack, Atlantic Starr, and Boyz II Men. She also toured worldwide with Reggae legend, Jimmy Cliff, as a backup singer, for three years. It was during that time that her love for the road, music, and the stage was sealed.
Over the past two years, Tessanne has performed on numerous shows in Jamaica such as the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, The Deck, Carlos Café, The Port Royal Music Festival, Welcome to Jamrock, Original Dancehall Jam Jam and her very own full set show 'Arabian Night' which featured Roots Underground as the opening act. She has also performed on various other gigs across the Caribbean, New York, Atlanta, Florida, Belize and Japan.
Tessanne's debut single, Hide Away, has received heavy rotation on [tagJamaican[/tag] radio, as well as select stations in New York, Florida and Atlanta. The single and video has topped Jamaican singles and video charts respectively as well as MTV's Tempo Countdown. Her second single was the edgier 'Black Books' which has been followed by the conscious 'Messenger', her third single.
Tessanne is currently in studio working on new material to be featured on her debut album which has not received a release date as yet.
Hide Away
Tessanne Chin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know what you do when you do it to me
[Verse 1:]
I can't save you from yourself but I could
Offer you a new start
And I can't take away your fears but I could
Part the lips of your broken heart
[Chorus:]
Do you, want me to, take you home
Show you what my love can do
Do you want to, go to heaven
With my arms around?
Take breath away if only you would say
It's only you and I and that's the way we'll stay
I'll take you there to my secret hideaway
[Verse 2:]
So in love, with you
But I feel, you know the truth
And every time you catch me I stare you know,
I stare at you
You get so close, to me
That I can almost taste you there
I do, want to go to heaven,
With my arms around you
[Chorus:]
Take my breath away if only you would say
It's only you and I and that's the way we'll stay
I'll take you there to my secret hide away
I'll take you there to my secret hide away
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhhh
[Verse 3:]
No other man can make mi gwaan like you
I wouldn't lef you babe ever even if I could
Mi nah go badda front you make mi wanna hunt
And Yes me put it blunt,
You got the goods, I got the touch
I sing this song just to prove
I wanna have you baby
I want every part of you
The good the bad the old & the new
Tell me what I say
Baby boy I do
[Chorus:]
I do want to, take you home and show you what my love can do
Take my breath away if only you would say
It's only you and I and that's way well stay
I'll take you there to my secret hide away
I'll take you there to my secret hide away
Ohhh Yeah Yeah Yeah
Baby baby I'll take you there
Baby baby baby, come go with me
I'll take you there
I'll take you there
[Fade]
The lyrics of Tessanne Chin's song "Hide Away" showcase a desperate desire to be loved by someone, portrayed in three different verses with some surreal metaphors. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that she cannot fix the person she loves, but she can provide them with a fresh start. In the chorus, she offers to take the person to her secret hideaway, where they would be alone and let the singer's love take their breath away if he would only reciprocate the feelings. The singer admits that she is so in love with the person that she cannot help but stare and is intrigued when he gets close to her. The third verse indicates that no other man can make the person feel the way the singer does. She makes it clear that she wants the person in every way, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and she would never leave him even though he might.
The song showcases the emotions and fear of the singer's love, who desperately seeks the attention of his lover. Despite the fact that the lover is already aware of how the singer feels, he remains indecisive about reciprocating love. The metaphor of the "secret hideaway" and "taking his breath away" indicates how the singer's love is something special that the person could experience.

You don't know what you do when you do it to me
I can't save you from yourself
But I can offer you a new start
But I can take you away from your fears
But I can bite the lips of your broken heart
Do you want me to take you home
And show you what my love can do
Do you want to go to heaven with my arms around you
You take my breath away if only you would say
It's only you and I and that's the way we'll stay
I'll take you there to my secret hideaway
So in love with you but I feel you know the truth
Every time you catch me a-stare you know I stare at you
You get so close to me that I can almost taste your breathe
I do want to go to heaven with my arms around you
You take my breath away if only you would say
Its only you and I and that's the way we'll stay
I'll take you there to my secret hideaway
I'll take you there to my secret hideaway
No other man can make mi gwaan like you
