About Me

Welcome to my website. This is a secure website that is monitored daily. It is for people who are interested in music and the arts. If anyone is abusive, (this includes photos, language, etc.)...they will be reported to myspace immediately. This site is set up for people who have an interest in music and to support musicians. This is not a dating website. This business is all about timing, relationships and being ready. If you want to perform, write, get a major label deal...you won't let anything stop you and you will be willing to learn. You must have an iron gut and persevere. Most important is to be humble and realize when there is an opportunity and when there isn't. It's also important to have a balanced life...music....and family, friends, leisure, exercise, etc. If you're a musician or any kind of creative type, it's a good idea to have a support team. Relax and don't take yourself too seriously and don't kill yourself trying to make it happen. I'm a vocalist, songwriter, arranger and producer and I live in Canada. I graduated from Chicago's Columbia College receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Entertainment Media Management and a minor in music. I went on to study at the American Conservatory of Music after after receiving a scholarship from NARAS, the Grammy Award Association. I also sang in the Roosevelt Gospel Choir, at Chicago's Roosevelt University for 2 sememters. It was one of the major highlights of my life and a major turning point in my life, where I learned about the love of God through music and people. I really enjoy helping others develop their talents and encouraging people. Always have faith and step away from the critics. Choose to be around those people who support you with your creative goals. Songs are our soul on paper and in melody and when we hear the song...we hear ourselves. It is our soul becoming audible. We do not know why we write, only that we do this because perhaps it is hard for us to do anything else. It is Gods' clever and wonderful way of telling people what is going on in our heart, mind and soul. Be positive, forgiving and good to youself and others."It is never too late to be what you might have been." George Eliot -Yours in music and GB (God Bless)....Shannon
