Olga Tanon is a two-time Grammy Award and three-time Latin Grammy-winning Merengue and Latin Pop artist. Tanon has earned 2 Grammy award, 3 Latin Grammy Awards and 28 Premios Lo Nuestro awards during her career.Tanon's singing career began when she joined a group called "Las Nenas de Ringo y Jossie" (Ringo and Jossie's Girls) in the 1980s. A short time later a very popular group in Puerto Rico called "Chantelle" noticed her mezzo soprano voice and recruited her. They saw in her what they needed for their merengue style of music. When Tanon was a member of Chantelle, they scored their biggest hit, "Aunque Tu no Quieras" (Even If You Don't Want It). The song was popular in Latin America.
On February 22, 2007, Tanon won three awards at the 19th edition of Premio Lo Nuestro. During the 2006 show, she won in the categories: "Album of the Year", "Female Artist" and "Song of the Year". She holds the record as the artist who has won the most "Premio Lo Nuestro Awards", with a total of 28.
On June 2009, Tanon released a new hit single called "Amor Entre Tres" which is the theme song for the new soap opera in Venezuela called "La Vida Entera." That same month, WEA Latina will be releasing "25 Exitos de Fuego Vol. 1 & Vol. 2." Each CD has a set of greatest hits through her entire career of merengue and Latin pop. In September 2009 participated, next to Juanes and other internationally acclaimed artists, in "Concierto por la Paz" at Plaza de la Revolucion in La Habana, Cuba.
