Fousheé

Fousheé was born and raised in New Jersey. Her mother, born in Jamaica, was a drummer for a female reggae band, PEP, before moving to America. Foushee grew up in a musical household, exposed to a variety of artists and musical styles from her mother’s record collection including Bob Marley, Toni Braxton and Etta James, who she now counts as influences along with artists she personally gravitated to over the years like Chaka Khan and Frank Ocean.

 

She wrote her first song at age six and performed in differend girl groups with her childhood friends. While in college, she continued to work on music and would perform at local café’s on the side. It wasn’t until she and her mom were involved serious car accident, which forced her to drop out and help her mom recover from injuries. Fousheé says that served as a wake-up call to pursue her dreams.

 

After living in NYC and experiencing the music scene there, she set her sights on LA where she was embraced by the music community of creators and began to pursue her dream, honing her craft and learning to play the guitar. 

 

Soon, she was uploading music to social media including "Melody" a 2016 release under the name Britanny Fousheé. A subsequent release, "By One," became the first single she released under the name Fousheé. In May of 2018, she released her first EP "Speak Up."

 

In October of that year, she auditioned for season 15 of The Voice, performing "Redbone" by Childish Gambino. Coaches Jennifer Hudson and Adam Levine were taken by her performance. She ultimately joined Team Adam.

 

Fast forward to 2020, little did Fousheé know that her voice would become streamed by millions as the hook on Sleepy Hallow’s viral track “Deep End (Freestyle).” The hook was one of over 200 Fousheé had recorded for a royalty-free sample pack and she had no idea it was being used. Alerted to this by a friend, she decided to go public as the original artist and posted her own full version on Tik Tok where it quickly went viral. The singer has said in interviews that she hopes to keep writing the best music she's ever written.
