HEY FAM! We want you to get to know some of the younger Sledgendary fam who now sing with Sister Sledge, and next up we have powerhouse performer, long time member and adopted sista from another mista, the fabulous Miss TANYA TIET!

How long have you been performing with the group?

I feel very blessed to say that it’s been 9 years now. WOW!

What is one of your fave memories from on tour?

This is a tough question because I’ve shared so many cherished moments with everyone in the group. Like all the times when the vocalists and the whole band get locked into a vibe on stage and the whole place feels it, and we all just go to this magical place together for a moment...I love when that happens. Talking with people after the shows is always special because we get to hear so many stories of how music has touched someone’s life. It’s really beautiful because it reminds us all of the things that make us human and fragile and yet so strong and united. Music really is a universal language. I also love all the in-between times, when the whole crew gets to eat together and sometimes cook as a family - and when I say COOK! Whew! (Debbie makes a mean quiche by the way and don’t get me started on Thad’s kitchen skills. Lol) I still laugh about the time Camille and I tasted the most DELICIOUS chocolate on a plane in Saudi Arabia. It was so good that all we could do was stare at each other as we chewed. (Had a similar experience with David at a burger joint in Bristol) Haha! There was New Year’s Eve 2019 in NYC, our Australian tour, countless good times and truly blessed moments, on stage and off, with our friends in the UK (Harvey FAM!) and Copenhagen (Hi Ole!) lots of valuable time and tour bus conversations with other legendary artists in the industry that really fed my soul...just so many great memories. I’ll also never forget a much earlier time when Joni (So missed!) and I cozied up on a couch somewhere in Chiswick and stayed up all night watching Netflix and talking about life, happiness and overcoming adversity. She was such an inspiration. It’s all been a truly unforgettable adventure!

What song do you like to perform the most?

I have to say, We Are Family still makes my spirit explode with joy from the moment the first drum hits come in to the part where we break the music down to hear the crowd sing. It’s just so awesome because it feels like a lifetime of love and happiness wrapped in a song and when I look around at my stage fam and see the smiles on their faces, I know they feel it too.

What does FAM mean to you?

FAM! My goodness...FAM is everything really. It’s a solid foundation. It’s trust, unity, honesty. It’s the shoulder to lean or cry on. It’s the safe space, the home base and the happy place. FAM is where you begin and also where you grow. It can be something you’re born into but can also something that is built. Either way, the best thing about FAM is that it’s always rooted in and inspired by LOVE! ... See MoreSee Less
