VANCOUVER'S Elaine "Lil' Bit" Shepherd has been busy collecting award after award since entering the reggae music scene.

Less than three years into her career she has already picked up a Juno for her endeavours.

"I didn't really start doing my own thing until about ," she says.

"So it was even a shorter span of time and it was very rewarding knowing that I could accomplish quite a bit in such a short time."

The year-old has been hard at work since winning a Juno Award in for Best New Reggae Recording for her song "Likkle But Mi Tallawah." This week she releases her debut album Move Ya online.

"It's been a long time coming," she says.

"There is a fusion of jazz, soul and R&B, with some folk and a bit of rock and I think this album is a nice blend of all the different styles that I have been influenced by. I think it will reach a wider audience. It may turn some people onto reggae that may have not initially have been a reggae fan."
