Hi Guys. As some of you may know I occasionally write artists bio's and recently wrote the bio below which I have chosen to share. Zeener (formally Zeena) is a Dancehall artist who impressed me the very first time I heard her sing; which was at one of Michael Arkk's events for The Heritage of Ska. Since then she has continued honing both her performance and songwriting skills, resulting in some exciting opportunities as you will see!
As this is a mini bio focusing on Zeener's musical talents we omitted mentioning her natural acting ability, which is excellent, so I'll mention her key achievement here. Zeener played Denise in the popular comedy show 'Double Trouble,' touring with internationally known actors Charles Tomlinson, Devon Morgan and Lovena Brown. She thoroughly enjoyed the experience however decided to concentrate on singing rather than directing her attention elsewhere. Now we'll move onto Zeener's bio.

Meet Zeener! Original
Solid Gold Posse daughter of the first Dancehall Kings and Queens! Bursting
with energy, this authentic Jamaica artist catches people’s attention. Since Beenie
Man called her on stage at the Pan Head Festival, she has opened for Lady Saw,
Ishawna, Bunny Striker Lee and Fleur East in the UK. She has performed with

beloved Rastahouse. Other notable Venues include The Jamm, Hootananny, Boisdale-

2017 Zeener made history. She won the first ever Song4JA with
her original song, ‘Who Run De World, Jamaica.’ Zeener flew to
Jamaica, courtesy of competition organizers UKunsigned/Song4Ja
and JamIn_UK. Thrilled to leave
‘foreign’ and return to her homeland for Jamaica’s
55th Independence celebration, Zeener debuted her winning song
on CMTV, Sunrise Live, broadcast internationally, and sang at the National Stadium
during the standing ovation ceremony! She loved touring Jamaica as guest artist
of the JCDC (Jamaican Cultural Development Commission;) especially her visit to
Maxfield Park Children’s Home near her old primary school.
Zeener
recently completed her album, voiced in Jamaica, under Midnight Rock Records and is currently working with Mad Professor, Ariwa Records, on a DJ-DUB Project which will result in a few single releases. She has
a track on a Reggae Compilation Album called ‘Reggae United’ available March 2019 and is busy stamping her mark
on the industry.
