Glover Junior High and C. C. Sweeting Senior High were where she obtained her Education. Her religious background is Baptist, and the church attended, would be Bethel Baptist. She started working at the age of 18 for the Customs Department as a Customs Officer and after 8 ½ years there decided on a change of career that lead her to the Ministry of Finance as a Secretary, where she has been for the last 4 ½ years. Her daughter Cortnee Jade King attends Nassau Christine Academy and is presently in grade 3 at the age 8. Using her talents from childhood stage, she won the Ms. T.G. Glover pageant in 1985 and then continued singing leads in church choirs. 

A female entertainer, known for her unique stage appearance, captivating dance ability, and sex appeal, “SPICE”.
Performing professionally since 1997, she led in vocals the oldest band in the Bahamas to new heights.   During her four years with the Soulful Groovers she was trained to cater to all types of audiences, leaving no stones unturned.  With one child, her day job at the Ministry of Finance, as a secretary and her dance classes, this female entertainer still finds time for school.  Furthering her career in Business Administration at C.O.B she hopes too obtain her BA.  To most, she is known for hit songs like “Le We Wine”, “Been There Done That”, and  “It’s the Weekend”.  This recording Artist has two music videos entitled “It’s the weekend I gat ta party” and latest release “If ya can’t stand da heat”.  Her last recording entitled “Straw Work Money" can be found on the “KB & Friends Album”, and all of her other recordings can be found on her album entitled “SPICE” and the Best of the Best volume 3 and 4 along with the Diva Album.
These four Bahamian Female Artistes have made a remarkable impact in Bahamian music and most of all in our Bahamian people through their stage personalities, talent, singing abilities, and sex appeal.  They have brought variety and leveled the playing field, proving to most that female entertainers can be just as good, and in most cases better for reaching others using the softer side of entertainment in our music.

TRACK LISTINGS: Goin Back Home - Bahama Bay - Bring Ya Back - Dance Da Night Away - Hooked - Cant Keep A Good Man Down - Blue, Black N Gold - Rock Ya Body - Bahamian Heroes - Bahama Bay (Instrumental) -
Review from: http://www.bahamaislandmusic.com/
Geno D releases his fourth album continuing his zest for upbeat island music that keeps you dancing. He pays tribute to the Bahamas Golden Girls track stars with the song Blue, Black n Gold and to other influential Bahamians on the song Bahamian Heroes. His song Rock Ya Body was originally released on the Best of The Best Volume 2 album in the summer of 2000 and now is included in this album of original music. The album contains a mixture of calypso and rake n scrape music and finishes with an instrumental version of the title track Bahama Bay. Continuing the latest Bahamian craze among musicians, he does a superb job on a duet with Spice on the song "Dance Da Night Away" He is joined in music and vocals by Colyn McDonald, Ira Storr and several others. SC: geno1 calypso1 rake1 island2
