Born on June 7, 1969, in the South Bronx, Shelene Thomas discovered her love for creativity at an early age. Drawing and singing became her way of coping with the challenges of growing up, offering an outlet for expression and escape. 

Shelene’s talent began to turn heads, when she started singing at after school programs and participated in community plays. As a child she developed a deep affection for rhythm—often spending hours playing the Indian mrdunga drum, her favorite instrument. Invited to sing on a demo at HC&F Studios she met legendary reggae producer Philip Smart, where she voiced many reggae records and worked with reggae artist like Frankie Paul, Spragga Benz, General B and many many more. This marked the beginning of a lifelong journey in music, Shelene rose to prominence in the 1990s house and club music scene.

Beyond music, Shelene is a gifted visual artist. She has created and displayed powerful murals—two of which can be seen at Rev. Arthur Mackey Sr. Park in Roosevelt, NY. Her artwork has been featured at the Roosevelt Public Library, where her debut exhibit celebrated women of diverse ethnicities, as well as at the Uniondale Public Library and the Joysetta & Julius Pearse African-American Museum in Hempstead, NY.

A dedicated mentor and educator, Shelene has shared her knowledge of both art and music, guiding others through creative expression.
