Dee Shy (born Doreen Samantha Mason in May 1973) is a British rapper. She has been rapping since the mid-1980s alongside her husband Darren Mason from the French band SKO (RME) who were originally a Birmingham-based commercial rap trio from the UK who were signed to Sony BMG France under NRG Music.[1]
Shy worked within the beauty industry and was featured in the "Black Hair Magazine", which was an "international bi-monthly magazine for the style-conscious celebrity black women around the world".[2] In 2001 Mason survived a car accident. During an interview with Jerade James Jr for Future Topic and Black British Musicians Magazine, she stated how the incident had changed her perception of life, and she decided to tone down her lyrical content towards Hip Hop. This change caught the attention of the Gospel music genre who mildly associated her with the movement. [3]
