Before there was Guyanese-Bajan Rihanna

There was, "Whatever happened to Singer Des'ree"?

Similar backgrounds, different times, not the same success.


One of her better-known songs.

Innate shyness, chronic stage fright and a fear of flying led Des’ree to believe that 2003’s Dream Soldier would be her last album.

The singer was struggling with low energy due to an underactive thyroid, and when her record company Sony did not take the option for another record, she walked away from the music industry completely.

It takes more than just a great voice to make it in the music industry. Rhi Rhi came along at the time of great voices such as Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia etc and has outperformed them by a mile.
