About Me:

Sheldon Senior is a fresh new dynamic artist on the Reggae Music scene, set for big things in the coming years. Born named Sheldon Anthony Senior, from the parish of St Catherine Jamaica, he started singing from a very early age on his Primary School Choir, where he was the lead singer for the choir. In this fruitful melodious environment of Roots Rock Reggae and Gospel, his musical roots flourished, listened to all the musical forms from Ska to Reggae, R&B, jazz, Old Negro Spiritual and of course Gospel Music. Listened to the difference sound systems on the corner of Spanish Town (Railway Lane) and vocals from Beres Hammond, Marcia Griffiths, Bob Marley and others, has cemented his musical conviction to creating positive and uplifting music.

He then attended the Christian Secondary High School in Christiana, Manchester where he was the captain of the athletics team in his final year: a member of the school's football team and a member of the schools choir. In 1994 he won the JCDC regional gold medal for Best Male Singer in the Middlesex region of Jamaica. He later went on to represent the parish of Manchester in national athletics competitions and football competitions. All through this, he maintained his dedication to his music by progressing from the sound system to singing in a live band such as the Step by Step Band from Mandeville and has performed with the Fab 5 Band. In 1996 he entered the Tasty Talent Contest and won best original song and best dressed artist.

Sheldon has found the time while perfecting his musical craft, to gain a BA Degree in Teaching Mathematics, from the Middlesex University in London and a Teaching Diploma in Fashion Designing from the VTD I in Jamaica. He is now residing in England where he is preparing to break into the Reggae Music scene ‘big time’. His desire is to become a successful singer/songwriter and producer eventually touring the world spreading his own brand of reggae, soul and Roots Music. Sheldon has worked with some talented producers and musicians and tours the Open Mic scene extensively, delivering energetic, strong and refreshingly rootsy performances. He has performed at the Stratford Rex in London, and different Reggae Festivals in parks around London. His soulful, Irie Roots Rock Reggae vibe has been likened to that of Garnett Silk, Beres Hammond and Maxi Priest. Currently, Sheldon is busy promoting his musical talents and is planning to release his debut album, so watch this space!
