Biography

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wilson relocated to Los Angeles with her mother and aunt who were interested in pursuing careers in the music industry. At the age of eight, she starred in a KFC commercial with Ella Fitzgerald. In 1984, she appeared as a regular on Kids Incorporated, and also entered and won on Star Search in the Female Vocalist Category. Shortly after her appearance on Star Search, she was discovered and signed to A&M Records while performing in the musical Get Happy.12

On Valentine's Day in 2000, Wilson married actor Flex Alexander.3 They have two children, a daughter Imani Shekinah, and a son Elijah.45

Music career

In 1987, Wilson released her debut album, Discovery, at age 14. The album produced two top ten R&B hits, "(Baby Tell Me) Can You Dance" and "No 1/2 Steppin'".16 However, prior to the release of Discovery, Wilson completed an album produced by Teena Marie, but A&M instead shelved that album.

Wilson went on to sign a record deal with Motown Records in 1991 and released Inner Child, her first Motown effort later that year. The album included Wilson's hit single "I Love Your Smile", which reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and number two on the Billboard Hot 100.6 The album also featured a cover of Minnie Riperton's 1974 hit "Lovin' You". Wilson's rendition brought attention to her five octave vocal range.7 Wilson was the first musical guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1992.

After Inner Child, Wilson continued to record albums, including 21… Ways to Grow in 1994 and 1999's Shanice. While she has not achieved significant commercial success with her later albums, she has contributed various tracks for films including Boomerang and The Meteor Man. Wilson also found success with her top ten hit "Saving Forever For You", from the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack.6

She also sings backup and does studio sessions and can be heard on Toni Braxton's song "Come On Over Here" and "Un-Break My Heart".8
