Etana’s The Strong One is on the Shortlist for a Grammy Award

I just got an email this past Friday, announcing the current shortlist of reggae albums under consideration to be nominated for a Grammy. Surprisingly, one-time Fort Lauderdale resident, Etana, made the list due to her debut album, The Strong One, which was released earlier this year.

Etana spent the bulk of her growing up years in South Florida, and attended Plantation High School. She’s since left the States and now lives in Kingston, Jamaica, but it would still be great to see an artist who honed their singing skills locally win a Grammy, or at least be nominated.
