Gaza Sheba’s son’s life built around music

It is not easy being a second-generation artiste. Just ask 21-year-old N'Hance, who is the son of former Portmore Empire standout, Gaza Sheba.

The St Thomas-born entertainer, who attended Greater Portmore High School in St Catherine, was exposed to a wide variety of music from a tender age by his mother. Yet, he didn't try to use her name to get his buss.

"A lot of people didn't know that Gaza Sheba is my mom and a lot still don't know, and also it's not information that I just give out everywhere I go. I try to keep it unsaid as possible," the artiste, whose real name is Kenneil Lawrence, said.

At the age of 16, N'Hance decided he wanted to be a deejay and began writing his own lyrics.

His first recording, Scamma She Love, was produced by Touch a Goal Records. The up-and-coming entertainer, who has also worked with Fire Royal Records, says that his life is based on music alone.

"Honestly, I just have a love fi music in all situations. Music helps me, and music itself inspires me, my mom inspires me to do music also, so this is my path, I am all in," he said.

N'Hance recently dropped a new single, No Love, which he said has been generating a buzz.

"The response that I have been getting from the song, No Love, has been great. I was surprised at first, but I think a lot of people can relate, that's why it is so powerful - there is no love out there. The song has made many persons now acknowledge me as an artiste, and given me many more opportunities," he said.
