Shanice Lorraine Wilson-Knox (born May 14, 1973), better known as Shanice, is a Grammy-nominated American R&B singer, songwriter, and actress. She had the Top 10 Billboard hit singles "I Love Your Smile" and "Silent Prayer" in 1991 and "Saving Forever for You" in 1993. In 1999, Shanice scored another hit song, "When I Close My Eyes", which peaked at #12 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. She is recognized for her coloratura soprano voice and her ability to sing in the whistle register.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wilson relocated to Los Angeles with her mother and aunt (Crystal and Penny) who were themselves interested in pursuing careers in the music industry. They soon abandoned their aspirations of stardom, instead focusing their efforts on young Shanice; forming the management company Krystal Penny to cultivate and promote her talents. At age 9, Shanice appeared in a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial with the legendary jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald. In 1984, she appeared as a regular in season 1, episodes 1-14 of the children's program Kids Incorporated and was replaced by Carletta Prince in season 1, episode 15 of this show. At age 11, Shanice competed on Star Search. Shortly after her appearance on Star Search, she was signed to A&M Records.
