Born in Kingston Jamaica, statuesque, flamboyant and strikingly beautiful Simone Henry (SHADE) tapped into her family tradition when she decided to pursue her life long dreams as a Singer, Model, & Actress. Shade dad, Mr. Dudley Henry, who was a singer, song writer have inspired her to live out here dreams.

Shade's modeling career began in 1994 with the well-known Jamaican model agency Miguel Models, followed with the Pulse International Model Agency. Shade's face became well known, appearing in Local & International Fashion Shows, Talent shows, Local news papers & magazines such as The Sky Writing Magazine, Caribbean Vibes Magazine, Deco Drive Milato Magazine.

Shade landed the position as Digita, the blue-haired beauty who plays a girl from the future that brought new technology via Cable and Wireless Mobile, Shade became a household name & icon.

Shade "Digita" stormed the Island of Jamaica and the US by doing television, radio and billboard commercials, and live appearances advertising for the telecommunication mogul Cable and Wireless.

Performing at numerous Carnivals across the Caribbean and US, at weekly blowout fetes at Marketplace, Constant Spring Road, Kingston Road Parade Floats, Cinema 2, known as Digita during these events, representing Cable & Wireless.

And at the same time sharpening here music skills.

During the same period, Shade again wowed the audience at the Miss Jamaica Fashion Model pageant 2001. She was placed in the top three positions that landed her modeling assignments in New York, South Florida, England, Milan & the Caribbean.

In the effort to bring the highest quality of music to my fans, Shade has teamed up with some of the world's greatest reggae Engineers and Producer's. Karl Peterson has been dubbed as a bona fide heavyweight musical genius. Most true music lovers are aware of the massive influence he has had on the genre over the last forty years, most notably working with a lengthy list of stellar names such as the Legendary Bob Marley & The Wailers, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, and of course, Steel Pulse, as well as Robert Palmer and Grace Jones outside of reggae music.

Currently I am focusing on my music. My latest release "Moving High" was release in the US in September. "Moving High" has been in rotation on some of the top radio stations through out Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Gainesville, Texas, New York and Europe.

My next single called "Hot Boys" featuring Junior Reid is scheduled to be release in Jamaica in January. I am really excited about that record because I had a wonderful time working with Junior. We really connected on that song and you can hear it in the music that we make, it was really an experience.

We are putting together a major campaign around "Hot Boys". Media house and industry people will be given a direct feel of the song. The video is already being organized and locations being put in place. Jus think "HOT BOYS"
