English singer Tracey Elizabeth McSween, (known professionally as Shèna) was born 1977 in England. A product of a musical household, her father’s calypso background and her formal training at the Royal Academy of Music shaped her early artistry. Shèna’s breakthrough came with the 1997 single "Let The Beat Hit 'Em", which entered the UK Top 40 and laid the groundwork for subsequent dance collaborations. Her single, "More Than Woman", was released in 1996, followed by "Lifting" in 2007, "Nasty Little Rumour" in 2009, "Guilty" the same year, 2079 in 2010, and My Brave Face in 2011, each marking a phase of her evolving sound. Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Shèna contributed vocals to high‑profile tracks such as Michael Gray’s "The Weekend" (UK Number 7, 2004) and Alex Gaudino’s "Watch Out" (2008), cementing her reputation as a sought‑after session vocalist. Her collaborations spanned a diverse roster of house and EDM producers, including JX, Full Intention, and DJ Eliza Rose, and her work influenced later chart‑topping hits. Shèna’s career remained active into the 2010s, with continued releases and performances, and her legacy endures through the enduring presence of her recordings in contemporary dance music.
