Spice, also known as the Queen of Dancehall, is widely recognized as one of the most influential dancehall artists globally. Her distinctive style is characterized by her aggressive flow, musical versatility, and bold lyrics. Spice initially gained prominence after her captivating performance at the renowned dancehall festival Sting in 2000.

Continuing her musical journey, Spice went on to release notable singles such as “Right There” and “Hype,” collaborating with esteemed artists like Jimmy Cliff and Beenie Man in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
However, it was in 2009 that Spice achieved her first major breakthrough with the controversial hit single “Romping Shop,” featuring Vybz Kartel. This success led her to sign with VP Records and release her debut EP, titled “So Mi Like It,” in 2014, which was preceded by the release of the eponymous single.
Spice’s talent and impact were further acknowledged when she became the first female dancehall artist to receive a nomination for Best Reggae Act at the prestigious 2016 MOBO Awards.
Additionally, she stood as the sole female nominee in the category, solidifying her status as a trailblazer in the genre.
