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.
Recently a mile stone was marked for the St Lucian singer/songwriter who is preparing to spread his wings in the music industry.
Ross filmed his much talked about debut music video over the weekend and said that the shoot was a huge success. The video for his hit single "Take You Home", produced by Sherwinn "Dupes" Brice was shot in many stunning locations around the island including the new and ultra exclusive Jade Mountain Resort in Soufriere.
Before the video was shot, Ross held an island wide search for a leading lady to star opposite him. His final pick was Makeedah John who impressed the singer with her natural beauty and dynamite personality. The video, which was directed by film and television producer Davina Lee will be launched and released in late August. The singer is also now in studio and getting ready to release even more hit singles. Ross is also planning a launch of his new website, ShayneRoss.net. His publicist, Esther Lee said that the singer is now also preparing new singles for release and will be working hard to make his name in the Caribbean and the rest of the world.
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".
