- NOTES
Shanice Wilson was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania on May
14, 1973. The gift of music is definitely something that
runs in Shanice's family because her father Carl Black is
a guitarist while her mother Crystal Wilson is a singer
who has performed with noted artists such as Luther
Vandross and Jennifer Holiday. At a very early age,
Shanice showed great promise to becoming the remarkable
singer that she is today by singing Chaka Khan's "Tell Me
Something Good" when she was just seven months old! As a
toddler, Shanice started performing with her mother,
Crystal and aunt, Penny Wilson.
After her parents got divorced in 1979,Shanice moved to
Los Angeles with her mother and aunt at age eight, she was
picked to do a television commerical for Kentucky Fried
Chicken singing with legendary jazz singer, the late Ella
Fitzgerald. During the following few years, Shanice gained
more professional singing experience while performing in
stage shows around the Los Angeles area. In 1985 while
performing in a musical called "Get Happy," Shanice caught
the attention of John McClain from A&M Records and was
signed to her first recording contract at only eleven
years old. Shanice also performed on the television show
Star Search and won first prize.
In 1987 Shanice's first Album, "Discovery" was released
and the then fourteen year-old singer had scored some
decent hit singles such as "(Baby Tell Me)Can You Dance"
and "No 1/2 Steppin." Although never released as singles,
the two songs that definitely showcased Shanice's vocal
range were the ballads, "Just A Game" and "The Way You
Love Me."
In the early 1990's after signing with Motown Records,
Shanice's career took off to another level with her
sophmore 1991 album "Inner Child." Shanice scored a smash
hit with the single "I Love Your Smile" which topped the
Billboard R&B charts at number one and it also peaked at
number two on the Billboard's pop chart. She was also
nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Female Vocal
performance. In 1992, Shanice contributed her vocal
talents with the song "Don't Wanna Love You" for the
Boomerang movie soundtrack and also the Beverly Hills
90210 tv soundtrack with "Saving Forever For You" which
peaked at number four on the Billboard charts. The
following year, Shanice recorded another song for the
Meteor Man movie soundtrack called "It's For You" and also
made a guest appearance as herself on the television
sitcom, Family Matters.
In 1994, Shanice came out with her third album "21 Ways To
Grow" which features great songs such as "Somwhere," "Turn
Down The Lights," "I Wish" and my most favorite cut which
I personally felt they should've released as a single,
"Don't Break My Heart." After the release of the
"21...Ways To Grow" album, Shanice had kept quite busy
recording songs for more movie soundtracks such as "If I
Never Knew You" with Jon Secada for Pocahontas and "If I
Were Your Women" for Panther in which she also makes a
cameo appearance in.
In 1995, Shanice returned to the stage in the role of
Eponine in the musical "Les Miserables" and has also done
guest & background vocals for other artists such as Toni
Braxton, Usher, Mary J. Blige, and Babyface. Two years
later in 1997, Shanice appeared in MTV's Unplugged with
Babface and had the audience applauding like crazy with
her performance of Toni Braxton's "Breathe Again." In that
same year, Shanice also signed a record contract with L.A.
Reid's & Babyface's Laface Records and began work on her
fourth album.
On December 16, 1998, Shanice's first single "When I Close
My Eyes" off her upcoming fourth album "Shanice" was
released to radio and the video for it began airing at
around the same time on BET. Although LaFace had initially
decided not to release "When I Close My Eyes"
commercially, three months later on March 16, 1999 the
single was finally released to the stores a week after the
album and went on to break a record by making a gigantic
jump on the Billboard Hot 100 from #91 to #16. The
follow-up single "Yesterday" was released to radio shortly
after but due to the fact that LaFace tried to rush out a
video without proper planning, the end result was
something that was unusuable for airplay so the commercial
release was eventually cancelled. Although the "Shanice"
album made its debut at #56 on the Billboard chart, sales
were a bit sluggish due to the lack of promotion and
support from LaFace Records.
The final single "You Need A Man" off the "Shanice" album
was released commercially to stores on September 9, 1999
but once again LaFace Records failed to take care of
business and it kind of faded as quickly as it came.
Although a video for the song was shot earlier in the
year, not many people got a chance to see it.
On February 19, 2000 Shanice married boyfriend
comedian/actor Flex Alexander in California. A year and a
half later, she gave birth to a daughter named Imani
Shekinah on August 31, 2001. At the time of this writing,
Shanice is currently back in the studio working on a new
album, but is currently not signed to any label. We can
only pray.
Another Quality Release from OSC!!
Enjoy!!
