Biography:

“I feel so humbled that God blessed me with vocal talent and the gift of song to be a tool for my life’s purpose and destiny. That is why I thank Him for bestowing the desire in my soul to worship Him through song. Music knows no nation or creed. It only knows how to play on the strings of our hearts. I believe God will break every language and cultural barrier for the sake of the Kingdom, which is why I surrender my talents to his service.” - Sheena Lee 

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:5

Recording Artist/Actress Sheena Lee hails from Queens, New York. While being raised in church, Sheena developed a distinct, melodic sound.  From the tender age of 2 Sheena showed signs of an inclination for music. In youth she discovered freedom through song, just as a bird has an innate desire to spread its wings and fly. Her musical influence is derived from her parents who both have backgrounds, as DJs. It’s difficult to be raised in a household of two DJs and not develop an interest and love for music. Sheena’s father, Dr. Bob Lee is currently the voice of New York’s famous Inner City Broadcasting Station, 107.5 WBLS, where he is an on air DJ and the Community Affairs Director. Her mother, Vivian Lee, is an entrepreneur and the CEO of her company, New Beginnings. She helps couples with the selection of music for one of their most joyous occasions. Due to her parents, Sheena was very fortunate to be raised in a home with exposure to various genres of music.

“I remember waking up to the sounds of my father’s music and seeing him with the sound system in the living room, as he scratched and mixed up vinyl’s. As he prepared for his on air sets and community events, it was difficult not to have a feeling of wanting to sing and dance to what I heard.” - Sheena Lee 

“My mother was the one responsible for my foundation in church, and it helped inspire me to sing for the Lord. Inspirational music helped mold & shape my sound. God has blessed me more than I can imagine with an anointed, unique voice.” - Sheena Lee 

As an early teen, it was evident that Sheena had a calling on her life. At the age of 15 her music minister/ Youth Pastor David Ham realized right away that she possessed unmatched raw talent. In the year of 2002 he became the arts director and invited her to join a Theatrical/ Holy Hip-Hop ministry known as, T.R.U.C.E. (To Reach Urban Communities Everywhere). It began as a theatrical ministry where she had the lead role as the girlfriend of Nicky Cruz in the off- Broadway play called, “Run Baby Run” which was about his life story. Later music would become her primary tool to reach the youth. While under the leadership of Nicky Cruz Outreach (N.C.O.), Sheena was one of the lead vocalists. Also while with N.C.O., she had the opportunity to perform at many churches throughout the country. She also participated in missions work overseas in urban communities such as, Oslo, Norway and London, United Kingdom. During her seven years with T.R.U.C.E., Sheena discovered how to express the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song, theatre and dance. She not only impacted people who were looking for the way to eternal life, but she also impacted those who appreciated culture and the arts. As a featured soloist, Sheena recorded on three albums with T.R.U.C.E. ministries.

Sheena has ministered for events such as: Battle Cry’s ‘Recreate’ at the IZOD Center in New Jersey, the Martin Luther King Concert Series at Wingate Field in Brooklyn, the Harlem Summer Stage and Flavor Fest at Crossover Church in Tampa, Florida. She was apart of a musical production called “Kids For Kids: A Celebration of Young Genius” at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts funded by STAT! to celebrate and benefit our public hospitals. She recently toured with God Belongs In My City (GBIMC) in Florida. Through God’s favor Sheena has been blessed with the opportunity to minister alongside various respected Christian Recording Artists, such as: Hezekiah Walker, Tye Tribbett, Kim Burrell, Marvin Sapp, Mary Mary, Group 1 Crew, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Vicki Winans, Melba Moore, Cissy Houston, Israel & New Breed, Fred Hammond, Donnie Mcclurkin, Wes Morgan and Andy Mineo.
