Sheena O. Murray

Sheena O. Murray is a vocalist, songwriter, and actress currently based in Florida. Born in Jamaica, she moved to the U.S. at a young age, during the time when R&B was searing the airwaves heavily and leaving little drops of musical fire into her soul. Her fondest musical memories as a child was listening to Whitney Houston and wanting to "sing like her".


Her musical sound is soulful, soft, and sultry. One of the first things that people notice about her voice is her tonality. Her tone is warm and velvety; an audio embrace. Her lyrics are thoughtful and often romantic; they are decisive and descriptive. She prides herself on her range as a Mezzo Soprano.


Creating music was a singular passion for quite a number of years, so when she decided to jump "voice first" into professional musical theater as an adult, landing her first professional role as a co-star after her very first audition, came as a surprise. Adding actress to her repertoire is something that she touts proudly: Lorrell in Dreamgirls, Aunt Em and Glinda in The Wiz, and more recently, Rose Parks in Walk On: the Story of Rosa Parks (which toured the eastern United States) are some of her most notable roles.


She wants the audience to be transported whenever she performs. She wants them to believe in the moment and take it with them.


If you were to ask her, she'd tell you that she is her most authentic self on stage.
