Jamaican dancehall sensation Shenseea is currently in Kenya ahead of her highly anticipated performance at the Raha Fest concert on December 31st, 2024. The singer, whose real name is Chinsea Linda Lee, touched down in Nairobi on Saturday, accompanied by her team and crew. In the evening, she was spotted enjoying the vibrant Nairobi nightlife, rocking a denim top paired with a matching mini skirt as she soaked in the city’s energy.
Shenseea, who gained international recognition for her unique blend of dancehall and pop music, is set to perform on the second day of the Raha Fest, alongside other top African acts such as Tanzania’s Alikiba and Kenya’s Fathermoh. The event, held at the iconic Uhuru Gardens, promises to be a musical extravaganza with Shenseea adding her signature flair to the stage.
The first day of the concert, December 30th, will feature performances by Nigerian artist BNXN (formerly Buju), Victony, Tanzanian star Marioo, Kenya’s own Mutoriah, and The Orchestra, among others. Fans are in for a treat as they witness the convergence of diverse musical styles across two days of electrifying performances.

Her journey into the spotlight began in 2015 when she remixed Vybz Kartel’s song “Loodi,” quickly catching the attention of the dancehall community. She later gained wider recognition through her feature on Kanye West’s “Pure Soul” from the Donda album, which earned her a Grammy nomination for “Album of the Year.”
Shenseea’s debut album, Alpha, was released in 2022, showcasing her musical versatility and maturity. In 2024, she dropped Never Gets Late Here, further solidifying her status as one of dancehall’s most exciting and influential voices.
