Shenseea Says She’s Focusing On Creating ‘Good Music, Less Hype And Buggu-Yagga’

The most streamed woman out of Jamaica, Dancehall star Shenseea, says at present her focus is on her craft and living a life of serenity, even as she remains as busy as a bee, musically speaking.

The Bad Alone singer, 24, was speaking to veteran entertainment journalist Anthony Miller via video call during his recent visit to DJ Frass’ studio for an interview. The Mona High School old girl’s comments came after Miller asked her whether she was “pressing the social media buttons as much as she used to in the past”.

“I didn’t find myself doing much of that since recently.  My late mommy kind of changed my perspective on life,” she responded.

Shenseea’s mom, Castilyn Eleanor Williams, passed away last year.

The singer continued, “So I will still do it like once in a while but I am so focused on other things right now, it’s like I want to create just harmony and just peace. I am not so much in the hype and buggu-yagga.  I just want to put out good music.  I want it to spread throughout the entire world.”

Shenseea, who is the most followed living Jamaican artist on Instagram with 3.9 million followers, has been known for posting numerous videos and photographs, sometimes several times daily on social media, particularly Instagram, as well as livestreaming and chatting with her fans on a regular basis.

However, since this month (April), in particular, her posts have been less frequent appearing every two days or so with breaks sometimes as long as a week.

Miller also made reference to recent statements made by Sean Paul that Shenseea and Jada Kingdom were the stars with the “best chance, really, to being the next big name out of Jamaica” during an interview with The Entertainment Report a few weeks ago.

At the time Sean Paul had told Miller that: “Shenseea is a big one to me and also Jada Kingston.  Both of them are both making moves that are outstanding to me.  For me I see them bridging the gap.  Naturally, by just being them.”

“A lot of people think that you are on the verge of something big.  Just spoke to Sean Paul recently and Sean Paul seems to think that you are the next big name out of Jamaica.   And it’s looking good for the women in particular.   What are the women bringing to the scene right now? What’s making a difference for them?” Miller asked Shenseea.

“I feel like for me, back in the days you know, just watching other people on stage, you feel like yow, it is a male-dominated industry.  I feel like now, women are so confident, both in Jamaica and internationally,” she responded.

Prior to calling Shenseea for her to speak with Miller, DJ Frass who produced her No Limit collab with Moyann, had praised the Manchester native for her work ethic and commitment to getting studio work done.

“Mi word wid har closely.  I am in the studio with her a lot.  Suh like is a girl weh shi nuh waan stop.  All when time four a clock inna di morning an everybaddy seh dem waan guh home, shi a seh, ‘no, mi haffi done di song.  If a six a clack mi a lef, a six a clack mi a lef’,” he said of the Interscope/Rich Immigrants signee.

“Yuh haffi hungry fi it.  All when yuh feel like yuh have a bag a money, yuh haffi always hungry fi it,” he added.

In referring to No Limit, DJ Frass had said that he was the one who got Shenseea to do the collab.

“I was like, ‘Shen, I need you to do song with Moynn on di riddim,’” Frass told Miller.

“Call her right now and see if she will answer your call, cause I am not too sure I believe you,” Miller responded.

“What?” Frass gasped in apparent disbelief, before ringing up the Lighter artist who did indeed answer his call immediately.
