DEUTSCHE VERSION

 
 

The Story of Z

Zeeteah Massiah was born on the beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados, the first of four children. When she was just five years old, her family moved to London, England, where she grew up.

Zeeteah started singing almost on the day she was born, and it wasn’t long before the music industry started paying attention to her. Her first recording was a reggae version of the Jackson 5 hit We Got A Good Thing Going for Trojan Records, after which she landed a major singing role in the hit London musical Little Shop of Horrors at the Comedy Theatre in Mayfair.

 
 

Hit Records

In the early 1990s Zeeteah signed a recording contract with Union City (a Virgin label) for whom she recorded several dance tracks.  She soon had a major hit with Slide on the Rhythm, which soared to the No. 1 spot on the American Billboard dance chart.

After signing a new record deal with Virgin Records, Zeeteah recorded two new songs, This is the Place and Sexual Prime, both of which were UK chart hits. In 1996, Zeeteah was shortlisted for the British entry for the Eurovision Song Contest with A Little Love, and made it through to the UK finals.

Over the years she has shared the stage with some of the greatest musical artists of our time, including Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams, Phil Collins, Sting, Simply Red, Tom Jones, Johnny Hallyday, Kim Wilde, Michael Bolton and Mika.
