ARTIST BIO In 1971, Tinga joined the Boris Gardner Happening Band as the lead vocalist. The band toured the entire Island of Jamaica as well as many other Caribbean Islands, mainly on the Hotel/Tourism circuits. This stint lasted until 1973 when Tinga went solo again. He immediately scored his second hit Funny Feeling, produced by Lloyd Campbell. His success continued with the 1974 winning Festival song, Play de Music written by Ernie Smith. With confidence, experience and a well-established career, Tinga wrote the following years winning Festival song, Hooray Festival sung by his talented brother Roman Stewart. And in the year 1981 he walked away with a winning song "No Weh Nuh Betta Dan Yard" produced by Rita Marley.. That song was on the lips of every Jamaican across the island. Now a seasoned artist, Tinga has focused more on studio works with modest success. He completed two albums on John Carrols Callabash label Key to My Heart and I Feel The Music.
