Dancehall star Shenseea continues to expand her global reach, landing a nomination at the inaugural Snappys Awards as one of the platform’s Top Music Creators. The Jamaican hitmaker joins an international line-up that includes chart-topping singer Alex Warren and Grammy-winning R&B artist Leon Thomas, marking another major milestone in her rapidly growing digital and cultural influence.
The awards, created by social media platform Snapchat, recognise creators who have demonstrated creativity, cultural impact and strong community engagement across the app. Shenseea’s nomination reflects her expanding presence beyond music, highlighting how the dancehall star has successfully leveraged social media storytelling and fan engagement to build a global following. The category also features singer-songwriter ENISA and rapper JT, placing Shenseea among a diverse group of influential online music personalities.
Set for March 31, the inaugural ceremony will be hosted by comedian and impressionist Matt Friend. Meanwhile, veteran hip-hop mogul DJ Khaled is scheduled to receive the show’s Lifetime Achievement Award, further adding star power to the event’s debut edition. The broader nominations list spans categories celebrating storytelling, comedy, lifestyle, gaming and fitness creators across the platform.
For Shenseea, the recognition adds another layer to a career already marked by global accolades, including past Grammy nominations and chart success. As dancehall continues to carve out a stronger presence in the digital era, her Snappys nomination underscores how Caribbean artists are increasingly shaping the culture not just through music, but through the creator economy as well.
