Description:

Shama is a voice that is unforgettable. A voice that captures the sweetness of India, with an energy that is simply mesmerizing. A versatile and very capable singer who has been performing since childhood to audiences around the world. Shama, born in Libya, is very much attached to her Indian roots and its music. Impressively, she is one of very few artistes who can boast having had her own band at the tender age of 10, and performed regularly on Voice of Kenya T.V. before moving to U.K. Having received her vocal training from Smt. Swati Natekar and Smt. Krishna Chakraborty, Shama went onto developing her own voice and style. Shama became a brand name in her own right in 1994 as she set out with the very popular Shama and Friends band, wowing audiences in South America, Caribbean, West Africa, Dubai, Europe and nationally over UK. She has also performed alongside artistes from the Bollywood music industry like Anup Jalota, Sukhwinder Singh, Nitin Mukesh, Mangal Singh to name a few? Having worked on several albums, and had her songs heard in various movies in several countries, not forgetting sessions with artistes such as Geri Halliwell, better known as Ginger Spice, on her debut album Schizophonic, Shama has now relaunched herself, and has debuted her single with a fresh new sound with her new band, The 5.1.5 Crew. Shama added another feather in her cap by making her debut as a lyric writer and penning the words to Maahi, the very first track released by 515 Productions in collaboration with AmSoniK. Currently Shama is working on material for a UK wide tour with the 5.1.5 Crew and several performances lined up outside of the UK.
