Sheldon Senior is a fresh dynamic artist who is making his presence felt on the reggae music scene and assuring his future in the global music industry. This extraordinary singer/songwriter has created deeply meaningful and thought-provoking songs that capture the essence of a thriving artist capable of achieving world-wide acclaim.
Sheldon Anthony Senior started singing at a very young age, making his debut in his primary school choir, where his musical roots were given the necessary substance to blossom. He listened and studied musical forms from ska to reggae, R&B to jazz, negro spirituals to gospel and took inspiration from artists that set the benchmarks in the industry, such as Beres Hammond, Marcia Griffiths, Bob Marley and Dennis Brown.
His highly driven mentality has allowed him to smoothly evolve from sound systems to singing in live bands such as the Step by Step Band from Mandeville and the popular Fab 5 Band. In 1996 he won the Tasty Talent Contest for Best Original Song and Best Dressed Artist, quite an interesting combination!
He has worked with some of the most talented producers and musicians in reggae such as Mafia and Fluxy and Danny Ray and Tony Tuff of Jet Star. Sheldon extensively tours the open mic scene, delivering powerful, energetic and refreshingly rootsy performances capable of generating large audiences from diverse backgrounds. He has performed live at the Stratford Rex in London and a variety of reggae festivals in multi-cultural London. His soulful roots- rock -reggae vibe has been likened to that of Garnett Silk, Beres Hammond and Maxi Priest. (maxi priest?)
Sheldon currently spends every available moment perfecting his musical craft but still found the time to accomplish a BA Degree in Mathematics and a Teaching Diploma in Fashion Design. He now resides in Jamaica after spending (X?) years in England and is preparing to enter the worldwide reggae music scene. His mission: become a world-renowned singer/songwriter and producer and tour the world spreading his uniquely magnetic brand of reggae, soul and roots music.
