Steven Dale Lewis II (born November 14, 2006),^[1] known professionally as Tana (stylized in all lowercase; formerly known as BabySantana), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He rose to popularity in early 2021 with the singles "14" and "Antisocial", which gained traction on TikTok and SoundCloud.^[2] He later signed with Galactic Records, a subsidiary of Republic Records, in late 2021.

Tana grew up being heavily inspired by the Chicago trap scene, which at the time was led by Chief Keef and Fredo Santana, the latter of whom also inspired his former rap alias BabySantana, alongside BabyTron.^[4]

Tana started his music career in 2020, sharing music through platforms such as YouTube and SoundCloud in May of that year. Shortly after, Tana began to learn how to produce music. He later formed a small collective with his friends titled 1500^[5] — which at first only included Slump6s, although additional artists and producers were recruited throughout upcoming years.

Tana came to fame in 2020 following the success of his single "Prada" after it went viral on social media platforms, leading to a remix with Galactic Records label associate Lil Tecca.^[6]

Tana is associated with artists including Kashdami, Midwxst, and Yvngxchris. He is currently signed to Galactic Records, a subsidiary of Republic Records, but continues to release music independently through multiple SoundCloud accounts.^[7] Tana and fellow rapper Kashdami released the collaborative single "14" on July 20, 2021, which was featured on the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel.^[8]

In 2022, Tana announced his debut studio album, Gaultier, which was initially set for a late 2022 release. On August 15, 2022, Tana released the first promotional single "Swaggin Like This"^[9] with Lancey Foux, followed by the single "Hell Yeah" four days later.
