With a smooth,
sexy voice, good looks and dynamite personality, it’s no
surprise that Shayne Ross is gaining fans and widespread
attention. Hailing from the east coast community of Mon Repos on
the Caribbean island of St Lucia, this
singer/songwriter/producer has grown up immersed in the sweet
sounds of calypso music, rhythm & blues, hip-hop, reggae and
dancehall. All of these genres have influenced his music and the
sound that he creates today.
His first public foray into the music industry was at the age
of ten when he wrote his own calypso song for a school’s talent
competition. From that moment on, Shayne has gone full speed
ahead with his love of music and started writing songs
religiously. His first release, a hip-hop track, ‘Leave Me
Alone’ recorded at the Heights Music Studio, proved that he had
the stuff to rule the airwaves.
In 2006, the singer showed that he had full
command of rhythm & blues when he released the sexy single
‘Naked’ that had female fans screaming and begging for more.
With ‘Take You Home’, Shayne cemented the fact that he was hot
property and could sing or rap like the best of them. Many are
now calling him St Lucia’s John Legend.
In addition to singing
and writing his own music, Shayne produces many hot tracks
including ‘Breed’ for St Lucian performer Cherry L. He has
collaborated
with the best local producers including Sherwin ‘Dupes’ Brice
and Francis ‘Leebo’ Delima on his music. In the July/August
issue of SHE Caribbean Magazine, Shayne was named as the ‘One to
Watch’ in the Caribbean’s music industry.
Shayne has opened
up for acts such as Jamaican superstars Voicemail, and has
performed at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival ‘Jazz on The Square’.
It is only a matter of time for this sexy singer to become the
main act. With his music, Shayne wants ‘to keep on expressing
himself and give people something that they can relate to, that
they can groove to and to create music that lasts forever’.
