Shanice Bacchus was born in New Amsterdam, East Berbice, on July 29, 1989. She is the
third of three siblings. As a child in Guyana,
Bacchus undertook a few assignments to appear as a model in advertisements, but
her career choice was suppressed by the reality of life in the Ancient County. However, upon migrating, almost
four years ago, the urge to pose before the cameras resurfaced.
Photographers
quickly developed interest in Shanice Bacchus, and, over the years, she has
fallen deeper and deeper in love with the art of modelling. For her, it is not
just about standing in front of the camera, but rather about doing something
she loves.
Most Guyanese
would not know “Raye 6″, but she is a Brooklyn
artist who is moving forward quickly and inexorably in the music industry. And
Shanice Bacchus has been one of Raye 6’s “Bubble Girls,” aka back-up dancers,
for almost three years, during which Shanice has grown tremendously. She has
hosted parties as a Bubble Girl while wearing the group’s trademark items,
which include a 31-inch ponytail.
From being
somewhat shy to stepping out on stage in confidence, Shanice has truly come a
long way. With this career choice, she has been featured in ‘Source’ and ‘No
Labelz’ magazines, in which she has received a three-page model spread.
Two years
before migrating, she attended a summer sewing program in New
Amsterdam hosted by Minerva Peters, where she learnt the art of
becoming a seamstress. But, over the years, she has been inactive in that
hobby, pursuing what she thought were bigger things. She got married in 2009,
changing her name to Shanice Jones; and in August 2010, she started to showcase
her hidden talent of designing when she opened her boutique, Her collection has
since turned numerous heads, and has been improving constantly. It has been
featured in several photo shoots and fashion shows in the U.S.
Currently,
Jones is enrolled in West Barron Acting
School, in New York, for its winter 2011 semester. This
includes studying Film, Showcase & Monologue.
She landed her
first gig as an actress in a music video shoot for Haitian celebrity singer
Casley Cass, acting as his fiancée. The concept of the video is that she
catches him cheating with another woman.
