KINGSTON, Jamaica– The Voice season-five winner Jamaican songbird Tessanne Chin says she will begin recording with Universal Music group in early 2014.

Tessanne said that she wants her album to be different from what she has done in the past, adding however, that it will have a reggae vibe, because that is who she is.

“My first album will most likely take a different direction, but it will have a reggae feel, that is who I am,” she said.

She also hopes to bring the producers of Universal Music to Jamaica.

“I would love for them to come down and experience GeeJam recording studios, that would be awesome,” the songstress said.

Tessanne walked away with US $100,000 and a Universal recording contract upon winning the coveted “The Voice” title on Tuesday, December 17.
