Shanique Marie

Shanique Marie, formerly ‘Shanz’ emerged on the scene primarily as a Dancehall vocalist. Born in the Reggae Mecca, Jamaica, with a first love for Jazz, she decided she wanted to do something more. Facilitated by the innovative music production duo, Equiknoxx Music, team Shanique Marie carried the experiments far and wide.

One notable experience is sighted on song ‘Dub Me’ where the underlying track is a fusion of sounds from unreleased tapes of Augustus Pablo, which was facilitated by Suns of Dub with whom Equiknoxx Music co-produced the track.

Other contributors to the project are Cali P, Raging Fyah, the Staff of Anchor Recording Studios, Tafawee Buchsaecab, Ordean ‘Bingie’ Francis, Nicholas Groskoph, Soul-Force Records, Aleksander ‘Mothashipp’ Molak and Grammy award winning mastering engineer Jacek Gawlowski.

The end result of the experiment is six (6) songs. Being the first release of Shanique Marie, the project is entitled ‘UNO’. Distributed by ZincBeats, ‘UNO’ is now available on iTunes.
