User talk:Shana S Music

Shana S bio,

Shana Simpson, known simply as ‘Shana S’, hails from the beautiful parish of Portland, Jamaica. As the eldest of 11 children, she was born a leader. She always had an interest in music and began d-jaying when she was 12 years old, during break periods in high school. Despite her early start, Shana S didn’t become serious about her music until she was 17 years old. However, struggles to find a manager and to generate interest in her talent would force her to put off her dreams of a music career for another 5 years. In 1999, Shana migrated to the US where she later met manager ‘Wayne Walker’ who saw her potential as a singer and encouraged her to start writing and taking music lessons.

Shana S’s first public performance was a heartbreaking tribute to her grandmother in February of 2003. Following her grandmother’s death, Shana S was determined more than ever to make a name for herself in the music industry. She met up with ‘Rickey Myrie’ (renowned producer from New York City ) who produced her first single “naah back dung” on the ‘top speed’ rhythm. Since then ‘Shana S’ has worked with Miami ’s Danger Zone Entertainment as well as a number of other producers and sounds. Her songs have received airplay at clubs in England, Jamaica and the U.S. Additionally, her voice has been heard on commercial radio station, power 96. Shana S has a large underground following and has performed at stage shows in Ft Lauderdale and at a variety of different clubs in Miami, at NewComb Hall in Palm Beach , and at Hibiscus in Sunrise. She is a testament to young women who have a passion for music. She is a ‘go getter’ and is ready to show the world what she has to offer through reggae music. She writes music that speaks to the true Jamaican experience and the struggles of being a female artist in a man’s world. She is definitely one of the new artists to watch!
