Shenseea was born Chinsea Linda Lee at Mandeville Hospital in the parish of Manchester, Jamaïca in 1 October 1996. At about the age of three, Shenseea moved to Kingston, ultimately leading her on the path to stardom. While Shenseea’s ambition is to be an international artiste, she was focused on learning the business from inside out. So she applied herself to her studies, graduating from Mona High School to move on to Exed Community College where she majored in Entertainment Management. Though, due to some financial hardships not too uncommon to the Kingston area, Shenseea was unable to finish her studies. Some individuals would see this as a setback and give up on their dreams to make ends meet. For Shenseea, it wasn’t that easy, as she had even more reason to keep going, her beautiful son Raj. As a single mother, Shenseea knew she had to keep going to give him everything so he never wanted for nothing. It was during this time that she was introduced to Romeich Major, the entertainment and promotion juggernaut on the Kingston area. Romeich is one of these people, immediately taking a liking to the young artiste and saw the limitless potential in her, so he hired her as one of his signature promotion girls.
It wasn’t until Shenseea signed with Romeich Entertainment as its first recording artiste that she began to take her career in music seriously. What began as a job promoting brands like Hennessey, Red Stripe, Smirnoff and Magnum at some of Jamaica’s most elite events quickly turned into opportunities to launch her career, showcasing her talent and building an eager fan following.
During her off days, you can now find Shenseea at Romeich Entertainment recording a new track daily. At the beginning of 2016, Shenseea recorded her debut single “Jiggle Jiggle” that shot through the island like a strike from lightning. As though this wasn’t enough for a new artist, opportunities lent itself to her again when she was approached to work with Vybz Kartel on a track titled “Loodi”. This one track took hold of the airwaves like wildfire adding to what is now an impressive repertoire of music for this young artiste. Garnering attention from Teen Vybe Magazine, Shenseea was ranked twice on their Top 10 Chart for both songs; #2 – Shenseea ft. Vybz Kartel – Loodi and #4 – Shenseea – Jiggle Jiggle. To be ranked on Teen Vybe’s “Top 10 Charts” with artistes like Vybz Kartel, Alkaline, Ding Dong and Chris Martin just proves how exceptional of an artiste Shenseea is and will prove to be for years to come. While obstacles may have prevented Shenseea from completing her educational goals, it provided her another path to her dream of being the international artiste she always knew she would be.
