Chinsea Lee who is widely known as Shenseea is a female Jamaican Dancehall artist. She was born on October 1, 1996 in Manchester, Jamaica and is of both Jamaican and Korean descent, with a Jamaican mother and a Korean father. She was raised in St. Elizabeth until she later moved to Kingston to live.

Early Life
From young, the artist had claimed that she had always had an interest in music. Shenseea went as far as educating herself about the business aspect of the industry by attending Exed Community College to major in Entertainment Management. Unfortunately, due to financial issues she was not able to complete her studies but she never saw that as an excuse to give up on her hopes and dreams.

Personal Life
Shenseea’s father was not present in her life growing up however, she claimed his absence did not have a dramatic effect on her life. There has been conversation about her father’s economic status. Shenseea said “I asked questions and the answer was that my Korean father was wealthy and in a gang, as a result of this he had to travel a lot”. In addition, she stated “Even with all that information I never yet said if my father was around mi would not ah live suh enuh.” The dancehall artist also claimed that if her father was to return he would not know where to find them because they moved out of St. Elizabeth. Shenseea was raised by her mother along with the help of her aunt. They both had men present in their lives however her mother’s male companion who had helped raise her during her childhood passed away recently. The singer did not feel much sympathy for she forced herself to cry because she was not that close to him. Furthermore, she shared that she would rekindle a relationship with her father if he was to ever return. “Its not a must to meet him but I know I would not be in tears. We could find out about each other I would not shun him,” she said. She continued by saying, “Everything I’ve been through [including not having a father] really made me the person I am and I love who I am, although I have to work on things like forgiving people.”

Shenseea grew up Christian and attended the Seventh-day Adventist Church. At the age of 14, Shenseea got baptized but did not feel the same encouragement as the other church goers. The singer has never claimed to have been raised strict however she disclosed that her family was not to fond of her wanting a career in dancehall.

Shenseea is a mother of a two-year-old boy named Rajeiro. The singer stated, “My biggest challenge is definitely having to leave him for long periods of times; Rajeiro is my companion and it could be so difficult to leave apart of yourself.” She created a social media page for her son after fans requested. “Sometimes it’s hard to manage two pages, because I want to be able to be on my page and say, ‘look at my baby’. At the same time, I cannot post a lot of photos or videos on my page about family, because it is for business,” added Shenseea.

Shenseea fired shot at her baby daddy Rob posting a meme saying, “Imagine disliking me and doing everything in your irrelevant power trying to tear me down, then having to realize you could never stop me and now have to sit back and watch me flourish and prosper, for the rest of your insignificant life,” and then captioned it “Ouch! Eyyy shout out to Raj’s deadbeat for this one.”

There were rumors of Shenseea and her manager Romeich Major dating. On February 14, 2019, the artist posted a picture on Instagram with her and Romeich dancing captioned, “One dance, Happy Valentine’s Day everyone” but then deleted it when the post went viral. Dancehall artist, Spice commented on the photo before it was taken down saying, “Happy Valentines to you and your man sorry typo I mean manager” followed by laughing emojis. Shenseea replied, “Talk the truth and the truth only.” During her performance in Barbados, Shenseea accidentally confirmed the relationship with her manager, Romeich Major.

2016 - Present
The 22-year-old artist used to work as a promo girl until Romeich Entertainment signed her to their label. During the start of 2016, Shenseea recorded her first ever debut single called “Jiggle Jiggle” that received a great deal of attention throughout Jamaica then later she got an opportunity to work with Vybz Kartel’s song “Loodi”

Shenseea had released a video for her song “Shen-Yeng Anthem” and the artist received backlash from some fans claiming that the video was cultural appropriation. Regardless of the dancehall artist’s Korean background, viewers believed she had no right to portray the culture fore she does not identity with it and she is not well educated about it because she was dressed in Chinese traditional attire but speaking in Japanese saying “konnichi wa” when the culture and countries differ.

On September 5, 2018, Shenseea posted a picture on her Instagram declaring herself as the dancehall’s princess. After it was posted the photo it ignited an argument about whether or not the singer was entitled to give herself that title. Spice is the Queen of Dancehall and many commenters were offended and stated "Although she may be mainstream and getting attention locally and internationally she has not done more than enough work to claim that status." Fans continued to comment adding that the artist is too premature in the music business and went as far as accusing her and her squad of purchasing social media followers to further her exposure.

Early 2019, Shenseea landed an endorsement deal with Pepsi Jamaica alongside dancehall artist Ding Dong. The campaign read “JAMA I CAN” which also reads “Jamaican.” Pepsi recruited influential locals for the music video to get more coverage on the “JAMA I CAN” message. Olympian Alia Atkinson, artist Ding Dong and Shenseea, and dancer Desha Ravers all made an appearance in the music video.
