Shayne Bailey Born on the 23rd of February 1983 to both parents of musical heritage, Shayne Bailey hails from the cool tropics of Tobago. With soca flowing through her veins, Shayne is the cousin of Calypso Legend The Mighty Shadow and the sister to Quebeck's very own Jazz Singer, Jazzmine Bailey. At the tender age of 8, Shayne displayed her versitility when she enroled in dancing the Art of Afro Dancing headed by Candice Ann and Vocal Training from the late, great Lauren Seeteram, one of Trinidad & Tobago's top Opera Vocalist & mother to our very own R&b sensational group leader Jason Seeteram from H20 Flo.

As Shayne and I sat under the cool shades of the evening breeze at the Botanical Gardens, she couldn't find the words to express her gratitude to Anthony Lewis (a.k.a Moses, manager & leader of the band Moses Revolution who is also her musical dad) and how excited she was to have been working with The Big Band Traffik. In these words she quoted,"It's has truly been indeed a blessing and an unforgetable journey to have the honour to work with such accomplished artiste like themselves. They have contributed so much to this industry & it's truly a blessing, "Total respect goes out to Moses Revolution" she finished quoting with a warm smile. Moses Revolution is a multi-talented phenominal band that brings a sensational blend of R& B, Soca & Reggae. In 2007 Shayne wrote the unforgettable hit "Caught Up In The Moment Of Love", which was produced by Moses Revolution that claimed Shayne to take the title of Canada's 2007 Miss Toronto's Hottest Vocalist.
