R&B singer Tweet’s daughter Shenice Signs To RCA Inspiration
With musicians for parents herself, it seems no accident that musical talent runs through the family of ‘Oops (Oh My)’ maestra Tweet.
The most recent evidence of such is the announcement that her daughter Shenice Johnson is the latest addition to the RCA Inspiration family. A label roster lined with the likes of Tye Tribbett, Donnie McClurkin, Deitrick Haddon, and more, it’s pretty safe to say Johnson is in good company.
While we await the good works set to come from the recent partnership, no word has yet been lifted about the young songstress’s debut album release date. Until then, we’ll press play on ‘Two of Us’ – her introductory duet with mom Tweet on 2005’s criminally underrated ‘It’s Me Again’.
