Timeline

Tanya Trotter (née Blount) is an American actress, musician and author.

1993

She began her career as a teen actress, appearing in the 1993 film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.

Blount first came to prominence in the film, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) in which she featured as the character "Tanya".

Her performance of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" with Lauryn Hill was a particularly notable moment.

Blount also appeared on the feature film's original soundtrack album.

1994

She went on to release her debut album Natural Thing (1994), which featured the songs "Through the Rain" and "I'm Gonna Make You Mine".

Blount is currently one half of the Grammy-nominated duo The War and Treaty.

Blount was born to an Afro-Panamanian mother and African-American father.

She attended Baptist services on Sundays and attended Catholic school, singing in choirs in both contexts.

She was educated at Morgan State University, where she majored in psychology and sang in the university choir.

Trotter is married to her bandmate Michael Trotter and has a son named Antonio.

Her debut album, Natural Thing, was released in 1994 and peaked at number 58 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

According to EBONY, Blount was included on the label's first gospel LP alongside artists; B.I.G., Faith Evans, Brandy, Carl Thomas, John P. Kee, Brian McKnight, Boyz II Men and Total.

1997

Commenting on the album, Blount explained "“I think Puffy is looking for a different way to go; he feels a responsibility to the Big Willies and hustlers to understand. A lot of people from the streets have a strong background in church. Maybe it’s time to send the message that they can party and still love Jesus.” Originally scheduled for release in 1997, the album was shelved indefinitely. In February 2000, the Washington Post reported Blount was pursuing a release from her contract with Bad Boy Entertainment and negotiating a settlement.

Blount has had a consistent musical theatre career in productions including What Every Woman Wants, Sneaky, Preacher's Kids, Born to Sing! and Christmas in Washington.

2017

In 2017, The War and Treaty released the EP Down to the River, described as a mix of 'blues, gospel, soul, bluegrass, country' and heralded by Estey as 'a splendidly made immediate classic about conflict and redemption'.

2018
