Precious Shordee plans to heat up the dancehall

Cayman Islands-born recording artiste Precious Shordee is determined to make a big impact on the local music scene.

"I love everything about Jamaica: the music, the food and the culture. It's just a different kind of energy over there. I would love to make serious impact over there with my music because once you get the green light in Jamaica, you're ready for the world," she said. The entertainer, whose musical style is a fusion of dancehall, rap and R&B, is getting ready to drop a new single, titled Ya Nah Ready.

The song, which was co-produced by Precious Shordee and TrillCity Global, is scheduled to be released on June 17.

"I'm very excited about this single. It has a strong hip hop vibe mixed with that unmistakable Caribbean flavour with a touch of dancehall. I'm sure it's going to be a favourite in the clubs this summer," she said.

Precious Shordee is also working on several new projects, including singles with Grenadian soca star Mr Killa, and Shone Rumulus, who plays the character Dris in the popular Netflix series Top Boy.

"I'm doing a lot of work in the studios with TrillCity Global. We have a lot of exciting projects in the pipeline. I'm also doing some work with Slym BlackOps Music and Shotty Shane Productions in Jamaica," said Precious Shordee.

The artiste, given name Sheril Precious McField, currently lives in the United Kingdom. Her previous songs include Pretty Like This and How We Move.
