“Blessings” isn’t just a song—it’s a testimony. Tanya calls the track her “love letter to God,” explaining that it reflects all the moments in her life when God carried her through dark times. Quoting Numbers 6:24–26, a scripture that grounds her daily walk, she said the song was created to spread God’s love, favor, and peace. “That’s the spirit I poured into this song,” she said sincerely.
Though gospel is new territory for Tanya, it’s not unfamiliar. The Galveston, Texas native has always been surrounded by gospel influences and said she felt called to release music that speaks to her spiritual journey. “I’ve been in R&B for a good while, still in it,” she explained, “but I was ready to go ahead and share my truth when it comes to gospel.”
Her musical journey has already seen success, with previous singles like “Good Woman” and “No Pressure” landing on the adult R&B Billboard charts. Beyond music, Tanya is also a successful entrepreneur, owning the largest daycare center in Texas—All Better Child Care Center. She also runs her own label, Art Sessions, proving her hustle spans far beyond the stage.

She also praised Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Marvin Sapp, and Jonathan McReynolds for shaping her spiritually and musically. She even shared how Mary Mary’s “Go Get It” has been a personal anthem, motivating her through tough seasons. “That message pushed me to go after what God had for me,” she said. “And that same spirit shows up in ‘Blessings.’”
