My Jazz Story

Born in Barbados, raised in London, Zeeteah Silveta Massiah was singing before she could talk. While still in her teens, she was snapped up by Trojan Records and recorded a reggae version of the Jackson 5 hit We Got A Good Thing Going. Soon afterwards, she sang in the hit London musical Little Shop of Horrors. Zeeteah is famous for her amazing live performances. Her unique style and stunning voice have earned her a legion of fans, and every show she performs is a thrilling event. In the early 1990s Zeeteah had a major hit with Slide on the Rhythm, which rocketed to No. 1 on the American Billboard dance chart. She followed up with This is the Place and Sexual Prime, both of which were UK chart hits. In 1996, she went through to the UK final of the Eurovision Song Contest with A Little Love. Over the years Zeeteah has shared the stage with some of the greatest musical artists of our time, including Robbie Williams, Johnny Hallyday, Phil Collins and Sting. She sang with Kim Wilde on Michael Jackson's legendary Bad tour and toured the world with Tom Jones. As well as many singles, Zeeteah has released two albums of jazz: Juice (2014) and Maybe Tomorrow (2016). In 2022 she returned to her roots with Wat A Ting, a collection of reggae and dancehall grooves spiced up with jazz and soul. Zeeteah lives near London with her husband and musical partner Paul Caplin. They are currently working on a new album inspired by their love of Afrobeats.
