As the newest artist on music industry veteran Russell “Block” Spencer’s Block Entertainment label, Kris Kelli is ready to share her musical blend of edgy, hip-hop, pop and Caribbean vibes with audiences in the U.S. and beyond. 
A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Kris Kelli’s music career began at the age of 17 when she was discovered in a Kingston karaoke bar. After releasing a series of hit songs, including collaborations with reggae superstars Beenie Man and Vybz Kartel in her native Jamaica, Kris Kelli was ready for more. Block and his team answered the call and began the yearlong process of developing new music and a new sound that would match Kris Kelli’s incredible talent.
U.S. audiences were introduced to Kris Kelli earlier this year when she collaborated with fellow Block Entertainment label mate, Gorilla Zoe
for “Me & You.” The song, which quickly became one of the most requested songs on Atlanta’s V-103.3 FM, pays homage to Method Man and Mary J. Blige with a sample of the hip-hop classic “All I Need.” In October 2012, she released her first EP, Sell Off, which included the hit singles “HomeRun” and “Action.” If any of these efforts foreshadow Kris Kelli’s imminent success, then we can expect to see this Kingston songstress become an industry phenomenon in the
very near future.Websitehttp://www.iamKrisKelli.com Press Contactblock.assistant@gmail.com

Driven by the will power to achieve; this determined & courageous lady "Shanet Chisholm aka Chizz Chizem", strives relentlessly to accomplish her objectives.

Since her awareness of  being related to 2 musical pioneers in the reggae industry, Keith Francis, bass player for the reggae band "Chalice" and Cedric Myton of the roots reggae group "The Congos,". She has received an added drive to pursue her dreams of being a well known public figure.

Despite several challenges, this native warrior princess remains steadfast in attaining her goal of being in the league of the outstanding individuals in Jamaica’s music industry.

It was not all a life of flair for this former hotel manager, who was the victim of an undiagnosed ailment which had her hospitalized for an extended period as a teenager. Her recovery from this predicament was the inspiration for her first song “Everybody Got To Know” & not a remake of the popular church songJ.

In 2012 Chizem once again had a near death experience after being struck by lightning coming from a studio session in the rain. She recalls nothing for awhile, after being struck to the ground.  The impact had her on her back with water pouring down on her, numb and unable to move until she felt herself being gently raised to her feet and carried by someone who appeared to know her. She was taken home by this good Samaritan whom no family member happen to had seen, when she made known of her ordeal to her family. She was quickly rushed to the hospital after this was brought to their attention.

Coming face to face with death on more than one occasion has not deterred this strong willed woman. Her determination has so far seen her doing several songs for known producer “Syl Gordon of Cell Block Records”, holding the #1 spot for 6 weeks on a conscious top 10 charts after being on the charts for 22 weeks and being privileged to receive personal advice from the queen of the dancehall “Lady Saw”. Chizz Chizem regards herself not as an artiste but an expressionist & intends on expressing herself in whatsoever way she is so moved.
