Dancehall princess Shenseea will join a star studded guest list including Brazilian superstar Anitta as a performer at the first Billboard Music Con.
The inaugural Billboard Music Con is a two day experience #BBMusicCon, presented by Smirnoff, to celebrate the past year in music with celebrities, conversations, and “unforgettable headline performances” on May 13 and 14 at Area 15, Las Vegas.
Other acts scheduled for the event are Burna Boy, Latto, Machine Gun Kelly and more.
The Jamaican artist and songwriter recently signed with S10 Publishing, a partnership between Brandon Silverstein’s music company and Avex USA. The worldwide publishing agreement covers all songs written by the Shenyeng Anthem singer, who has amassed over 600 million video views and a total of 12 million social media followers.
Shenseea joins a roster that includes Harv, co-writer on Justin Bieber’s mega-hit “Peaches.”
Her catalogue include one feature heavy album ‘Alpha’, released earlier this year as well as other singles with artists like Kanye West, Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, Sean Paul, Tyga, Vybz Kartel, Rauw Alejandro and Young Thug, among others.
“Shenseea is an incredible artist whose writing ability and freestyling is unparalleled,” said Silverstein, S10 founder and CEO to Variety. “In writing sessions and in the studio, she’s a dream collaborator because she’s having so much fun that it’s contagious. She first charmed her home of Jamaica before breaking into the U.S. market and now there’s no doubt that she’s going to break globally next. I am so thrilled to welcome her to the S10 family alongside my incredible partners at Avex and look forward to everything she’s about to do.”
Added Avex USA’s Naoki Osada and Lucas Thomashow (president and SVP, respectively): “When we heard Shenseea’s music for the first time, instantly we realized she was something really special, a once in a lifetime talent. Her and her whole team’s personalities are really great and a pleasure to work with. We are really excited to be partnering with S10 on such an exciting project, and supporting Shenseea in her career domestically and internationally.”
Shenseea is managed by Donny “Dizzy” Flores, CEO of We Good, in partnership with SALXCO.
Shenseea released the music video for “R U That” featuring 21 Savage earlier this week.
The Late Milk directed visuals is the third music video from her debut set.
