Shèna

Tracey Elizabeth McSween, better known by her stage names Shèna and Shèna Winchester, (born 1977) is an English disco and house singer, known for featuring on Michael Gray's song "The Weekend".

Early years Tracey Elizabeth McSween was born into a musical family. Her father was a calypso singer in a band called the Volcanoes. She studied at the Royal Academy of Music with Joy Mammen, and graduated with honours with a Classical, Musical Theatre and Commercial Music Performer's Diploma and a Teacher's Certificate. She took the stage name Shèna and went on to begin her music career.

Career Shèna first performed in musicals like Mamma I Want to Sing, Hot Stuff, Carmen Jones and concert tours throughout the world. Developing an interest in recording, she went on to re-record vocals for other female pop singers.

Her breakthrough hit was a cover of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's "Let the Beat Hit 'Em, Part 2" which reached the UK top 40 in 1997, and would be used as the base for Sound De-Zign's top 20 hit "Happiness" in 2001 and which would influence the number one hit "B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)" by DJ Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal in 2022.

In 2008, she achieved her highest placed credited UK chart hit with the Alex Gaudino collaboration "Watch Out", though the biggest hit she actually provided the vocals for was Michael Gray's "The Weekend", a number 7 hit on the UK Singles Chart in 2004. She was the uncredited vocalist for "The Weekend" and has continued to be an in-demand session vocalist, working on a series of dance music tracks for a number of house music and EDM producers including Jake Williams, who, under the name JX, recorded the top 20 hits "There's Nothing I Won't Do" and "You Belong to Me".

Personal life Shèna has three sisters who are also singers.
