Treesha was born in Nairobi, Kenya as Patricia Wambui Mwaura and is the last of four children. Her path to become a musician was paved early. First by her name Wambui which means Singer of songs in Kikuyu. And second by her father - the late John Ben Mwaura - who played the guitar and sang to her.
She discovered her own voice at the age of 8 years and joined a school choir, which she later on became the leader of. Besides the school choir, she became a member of a church gospel choir in Nairobi, where she widened her vocal range and received profound knowledge of harmonies.
After settling in Cologne, Germany in her teenage years, she finished her high school education and became a Medical Assistant. Besides her job, she became a regularly requested recording and live artist for the local music scene in Cologne. The diverse experience with harmonies and different music styles in her early years helped her tremen- dously, for this purpose.
In 2012 she joined the German Reggae singer Gentleman & The Evolution Band, and brought
her performance and singing skills to new heights through extended stage experience on a global wor- ld-class level. Besides Gentleman, she has worked for and with other artists, including Oceana.
Another milestone was the release of her debut album ‘Listen’ in 2015. Significantly involved in this project were Denham Smith (co-writer) and
the Evolution Band, who produced most of the instrumentals on the album. It also gained a refreshing diversity of musical styles through other well known producers such as Oneness, Ben Bazzazian and DJ Densen. Besides Reggae, which is the glue of her oeuvre, influences of RnB, Pop, Hip Hop, Dancehall and African music spice up her songs.
Songs from the album like ‘Love You Like 123’ (feat. Skarra Mucci) and ‘We Need Love’ (feat. Denham Smith) ascended to the number 1 rankings in the German Reggae Charts and successfully defended their positions for over a month. During the same time period, ‘Don’t Do It’ was represented in the charts as well.
In 2016 Treesha conquered the German MTV Urban Charts with the Number 1 hit single ‘Rude Gyal Swing’ (DeeBuzz & Hard2Def feat. Treesha & Bay C). The dance party track even edged
out international hits like DJ Khaled - ‘I Got the Keys’, Fergie - ‘M.I.L.F. $’ and Major Lazer - ‘Cold Water’.
Other releases in 2016 include:
King MAS feat. Treesha - More Than Friends
(ZJ Heno Productions)
Taïro feat. Treesha - Champion
(on the album Reggae Francais)
Runkus feat. Treesha & Royal Blu - Ride

     Afrikan Number One Rub A Dub Sound
                 
In 1984 I teamed up with my two brothers the late Pupa Davis and Rev Didah and  started a sound called it Dread Brothers Promotions.They started doing small gigs at the Garden Square until I finally left Roots Inity Promotion in 1985. We then started doing our gigs in a big scale playing around Clubs like Chiromo and Alliance Club. In the summer of 1985, Ras Ken Ambasu and Daddy Chosh joined the sound.

I left for Germany in 1985 and worked for a year. In  1986 and went to Denmark and bought my first music equipment and went back to Kenya. It was very easy for us to go mobile playing around the country because we had our own Sound System which was the first one in Kenya. I visited Shashamane land in Ethiopia as a member of the twelve tribes of Israel and met Dennis Brown. That is when I decided to change the name of the sound to Shashamane International..

In 1987 I organized the first sound and Dj clash at the City Hall in Nairobi including one from Birmingham England with a brother called Teflah. That is when I met Terrence Munene and since he was the youngest and the baddest of them all in the competition, I gave him the name of Youthman Terry and added him on the sound right away.
We Started playing at Hollywood Club and in late 1987 I went back to England where I met Dennis Brown again and he did my first Dubplate for the sound, a song called country living. In 1990 I went To New York  and settled in Harlem. Back home, we moved from Hollywood Club to Monte Club. And Daddy Freddy, King Monday, MC Fanya, MC Frank, Daddy Augustinoh, Ras Panyaley, Oga Sura Mbaya, Dj. Sweta and MC Juce joined the sound.

In New York City I opened up a store on 125 street and St. Nicholas Avenue. And hooked up with some youths from the neighborhood who used to frequent my store and hear me play loud Reggae music on the street. Their names were James Bond, Little Fox, Six Killer and Danger One. And our manager was Sister Dorsey who was our manager. 

The current members of the sound are Ringo, Short Boss, Dj. 4eign, Dj. Murphy, Dj. Bugs, Dj Priest, Jahmo, Albinorock, Daddy Chosh, Dj. Augostinoh, Toni Dread, Rev Didah, Dj. Chevy, Prince Otachh and Ranking Charlie.
