Description
Syleena is the daughter of blues/soul singer and music producer Sylvester “Syl” Johnson, who recorded with numerous artists in the 1950s and ’60s before starting a solo career in the mid-1960s. Her father, did not encourage her singing career, since he’d had his ups and downs in the industry.
Syleena’s life before becoming a known artist had several setbacks including having to have surgery to remove nodules on her vocal chords, which required two years of speech therapy to recover from.
In 1996, Syleena transferred back home to Illinois State University, still focusing on a music major. In 1997, she cut a demo tape which eventually led to her being signed by Jive Records. Syleena used her life experiences in the songs on her debut album, Chapter 1 : Love, Pain & Forgiveness. Catch Syleena chatting with dj d'nyce.
