SHiiKANE the name of music’s new female group, consisting of twins Shay, Annamay and younger sister Baby K who hail from South East London. They have recently signed a deal with Giant Music and are ready to show the industry a new take on the ‘Girl group’!

When you first see SHiiKANE you might expect them to be your typical sassy rnb girl group, but your in for a great surprise! Instead you will meet a group who has created their own musical style which the girls describe as RnBindi which is a mixture  of RnB, indie, rock and also Nigerock. They have also created their own clothing line called Shybrite.

SHiiKANE have performed all over the country and have even taken their sights to Atlanta where they lived for 6-7 months and performed all over the city proving to the USA that they are a UK group with talent and swagger!  They also auditioned for the X-Factor in 2007 and made it through to the bootcamp stage after getting a yes and positive feedback from all 4 judges. The girls say that inspite of not making it to the live show they wouldnt have changed their experience because it has made them want to succeed even more. They were also nominted for an Urban Music Award in the “Best National Unsigned Newcomer” catergory!

Recently SHiiKANE shot the video for their debut single  “Bamboo dey chop” (Say Goodbye) which was shot in LA and directed by Taj Washington  (he directed Usher and Ludacris (my chick bad) video and Rihanna’s ‘Don’t Stop The Music’).

SHiiKANE have also released their first mixtape “SHiiKANE Touched This” and pay homage to some of the artists they admire including Paramore, Lily Allen, Ladygaga, Kanye West, Jay-z and African Artist D’Banj.
