Biography

Shanice Wilson's illustrious journey in the realm of music began with an astonishingly early start, as she started vocalizing at an incredibly tender age of seven months, displaying a natural aptitude that would prove to be the foundation for a remarkable career. As she continued to hone her talents, her growth was nothing short of exponential, with her abilities evolving at an astonishing rate. By the time she had reached the tender age of eight, she had already gained the attention of the illustrious Ella Fitzgerald, a jazz singing legend renowned for her unparalleled skill and artistry. This notable milestone was subsequently followed by a resounding first prize victory on the popular talent television show Star Search in the year 1983, solidifying her position as a rising star in the music industry.

Shanice's remarkable journey in the music industry began at the tender age of 11, when she secured her first recording contract with the prestigious A&M Records, a testament to her burgeoning talent. This notable achievement was soon followed by the release of her debut album, aptly titled "Discovery", in 1987, when she was still just 14 years young, showcasing her remarkable growth and potential.

As she continued to hone her craft, her subsequent singles, "(Baby Tell Me) Can You Dance" and "No 1/2 Steppin'", garnered significant exposure and attention from music fans and critics alike, demonstrating her ability to connect with audiences and leave a lasting impression.

However, it was her 1991 single, the iconic and enduringly popular "I Love Your Smile", featured on her "Inner Child" album and released on the iconic Motown Records, that truly catapulted Shanice to international fame and recognition. This remarkable song, which has stood the test of time, topped the prestigious Billboard R&B charts at the number one position, and peaked at the impressive number two spot on the Billboard Pop charts, cementing Shanice's status as a talented and influential artist in the music industry.

Throughout her illustrious career, Shanice has consistently demonstrated her remarkable talent, versatility, and dedication to her craft, solidifying her place as a music industry icon and a true legend in her own right.

Notable events in the life of Shanice began to unfold in 1995, marking a pivotal moment in her journey as a talented performer. It was during this time that she had the esteemed privilege of taking on the coveted role of Eponine in the iconic musical production of Les Miserables, a testament to her exceptional vocal talents and a demonstration of her remarkable range as a singer.

Shanice's musical trajectory continued to unfold with the release of her fourth studio album in the year 1999, a pivotal moment in her career that would lay the groundwork for future accomplishments. But it was the subsequent single "When I Close My Eyes" that would ultimately etch its place in the annals of music history, as it achieved a remarkable feat on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Shanice's life was about to take a significant turn as she prepared to enter a new era of matrimony, exchanging vows with the charismatic actor and comedian Flex Alexander in the month of February, specifically in the year 2000, marking the beginning of a fresh chapter in her personal life as a newlywed.
