Sheree Hicks is an undercover, music industry legend. She is known for her vocal ability, arrangements, and mainly her writing skills. She has been in the industry professionally for over 17 years. Her personal sound is very smooth, soulful, and soothing to the ear, however; she is one of the most versatile women in the industry.
She started out singing in the church in Memphis and later moved to Chicago, where she joined a female trio at age 17. The group was signed to Def Jam under Russell Simmons and later on signed to Universal under Gene Riggins.
Her strongest points are writing and vocal arranging. She is constantly called upon by different producers and vocalists to tailor make something especially for them. She writes and arranges all genres of music from alternative, to pop and R&B, to gospel and even children's songs that teach them harmony while learning something new. She can also customize a song to enhance any vocalist, male or female.
She has written for Blackstreet with Teddy Riley, Rapper Heavy D, C&C Music Factory, Terry Dexter, Nick Loren, and Emily Bell to name a few. She has done tv appearances and sang back up for many artists as well. She performed on the Rosie Odonnell show with Brandy and brother Ray J, Joshua Kadison, Kenny Loggins, Dave Hollister, Charlie Wilson, Jason Weaver, and sang with Christopher Williams on the Robert Townsend Show. She has done performances in Japan and hosted MTV Japan as well, and also has done commercials and soundtracks with Stephanie Mills and Spike Lee.
Many of her producer friends respect her because she stays true to the music and her love for it shines through each song she creates. She has worked with an extensive amount of producers, some are award winning, such as Ron Lawrence, Def Jef, Swell, Ms Antoinette Roberson, Rockwilder, Eric Sermon, Redman, Rodney Jerkins, Jay El, Trackmasters, Mario Winans, Manuel Seal, Darren Lighty, All Star, Clemmons Brothers, Berris Bolton, Trackbrokers, AC Smooth, and super producer Earl Powell. Her newest project is a song that she worked on for the Obama Campaign called, "Change." She is responsible for lead and background vocals and doing the vocal arrangements on it. Produced by Earl Powell and Senator Ricky Henton. Other vocalists on the song include Emoni Wilkins and Slique of the Chicago based group Entourage. She likes working with producers that are on the same vibe with her and If the chemistry is right, it makes for some beautiful music.
