Shanice

Shanice, born on May fourteenth, nineteen seventy-three, is a multifaceted American artist known for her exceptional talents as a singer, songwriter, composer, and actress. With a remarkable coloratura soprano voice, she first captured the public's attention at the tender age of eleven when she won the Junior Vocalist category on the television talent show Star Search in nineteen eighty-four. This early success paved the way for her signing with A&M Records, leading to the release of her debut album, Discovery, in nineteen eighty-seven.

At just fourteen years old, Shanice's debut album produced two top-ten R&B hits: '(Baby Tell Me) Can You Dance' and 'No 1/2 Steppin'.' Following a transition to Motown Records, she released her second album, Inner Child, in nineteen ninety-one, which featured the international hit 'I Love Your Smile.' This song not only topped charts but also earned her a nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the thirty-fifth Annual Grammy Awards.

Shanice continued to make waves in the music industry with her single 'Saving Forever for You,' which peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. After her third album, 21... Ways to Grow, released in nineteen ninety-four, she took a five-year hiatus during which she provided background vocals for several major hits, including 'Un-Break My Heart' and 'When You Believe.' In nineteen ninety-seven, she made her acting debut in the Broadway production of Les Misérables.

In March nineteen ninety-nine, Shanice released her self-titled album on LaFace Records, which included the top-ten hit 'When I Close My Eyes.' However, shortly after this release, she entered another musical hiatus. After establishing her own record label, Imajah Records, she returned to the music scene with her fifth studio album, Every Woman Dreams, in two thousand six. In two thousand fourteen, she showcased her personal life by starring alongside her husband, Flex Alexander, in the reality television series Flex & Shanice.
