PARIS HILTON


Artist: Jeacocke, Sheree




Jeacocke spent the late '70's and early '80's fronting the band Sheree and playing in the touring version of Crack Of Dawn before becoming a hot session vocalist. Her album credits included work with B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, Melissa Manchester, Kim Mitchell, Glass Tiger, Eye Eye, Rita MacNeil and Gordon Lightfoot.

As a session singer for artists and advertising jingles (Molson, 7-UP, Covergirl), Jeacocke often found herself imitating other vocal styles and rarely using her own. She finally got the chance in 1986 on her first solo album, 'Feel It', which garnered her Most Promising Female Vocalist Of The Year Juno nomination.

The government organization, FACTOR, gave her $35,000 to produce and market the album on her own in attempt to get major label interest. That label was BMG who picked her up and had her change her name to merely 'Sheree' for her major label debut. The album features songs co-written with Gerald O'Brien, Lou Pomanti, and Joel Feeney.

Her second solo album for BMG was 1993's 'Miss My Love' which took three years to record in Toronto and LA and reflected a shift to gospel and R & B flavours co-written with Michael Omartian (Michael Bolton) and Elliott Wolff (Paula Abdul).

Jeacocke is also a mother and is married to session drummer Kevan McKenzie
