Shanice

It's always been about the voice for Shanice. Boasting a five-octave range, which she handles with beauty and ease, Shanice began her career scatting with the late great legendary Ella Fitzgerald for Kentucky Fried Chicken at the tender age of 8 years old. She went on to become the grand champion of Star Search at the ripe age of eleven. Her first album was released when Shanice was fourteen, but it was her worldwide smash, I Love Your Smile, a number one pop hit in twenty two countries, that brought her a Grammy nomination, Germany's Golden Lion Award and international stardom!

Shanice

It's always been about the voice for Shanice. Boasting a five-octave range, which she handles with beauty and ease, Shanice began her career scatting with the late great legendary Ella Fitzgerald for Kentucky Fried Chicken at the tender age of 8 years old. She went on to become the grand champion of Star Search at the ripe age of eleven. Her first album was released when Shanice was fourteen, but it was her worldwide smash, I Love Your Smile, a number one pop hit in twenty two countries, that brought her a Grammy nomination, Germany's Golden Lion Award and international stardom! She would become the very first recording artist to perform on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. At a very young age, with her incredible vocal mastery, Shanice would set a very high standard for many young singers to follow.

With her phenomenal voice and delightful personality, Shanice has won the admiration of many of the music industry's most respected names. She has collaborated with the likes of Kenny Loggins on his Live in the Redwoods Album, Kenny Babyface Edmunds on his MTV unplugged project as well as performing the duet, If I Never Knew You in English and Spanish with Latin pop star John Secada, on the multi-platinum Pochahontas soundtrack. On her closing night, opening for the infamous pop group N' Sync she graced the stage with pop icon Justin Timberlake at Atlantas Lakeview Amphitheatre, when he joined her in a duet performance of her memorable ballad Yesterday! Shanice has performed with pop star Josh Groban in heart melting renditions of The Prayer in both English and Italian live at the Belagio in Las Vegas at a fundraiser given by philanthropist Michael Milken and hotel Impresario Steve Wynn.

Adding to her list of accomplishments is her thirty year record breaking chart jump in Billboard with her first single on her entitled "Shanice" which she recorded on LaFace records! But not only has Shanice made history on the recording end, she also became the first African American to star in the Broadway production of "Les Miserables" where she was widely received in her incomparable portrayal of Eponine!

Now married to actor "Flex Alexander", Shanice is the proud mother of a six year old daughter and a three year old son. Although working intermittently on various projects, Shanice has been sorely missed. She is currently in the studio writing material for her forthcoming album! (-) collapse
