I'm a professional singer/ entertainer/ musician/ arranger who also writes original music and lyrics in all styles and genres. This particular site is purposely set up to showcase several of my spiritual/motivational songs. To listen to a sample of my "Rock" originals, scroll down to My Friends below in this site and click on my Shondra photo and it will lead you to my other site with MySpace which is ShondraRocks. There you'll hear four of my rock originals.My background is in Rock, R&B and Pop. I used to be the leader of my own rock band and also been in many. For over 17 years now, I've been composing and arranging all of my songs and other people's tunes in my own MIDI and digital studio.Besides these two genres of music, I have written songs for many projects, commercials and companies including a whole CDs worth of children's tunes.This February one of my pop songs, "We Are The Guardians", was adopted by Sedona's 35 year non-profit organization, Keep Sedona Beautiful, as their theme song.Here's a little background on the other three songs you'll hear on this site."Victorious" made air play in San Diego while being featured as the theme song for a "Welcome home to the troops" concert in 1991 that my band and I headlined for in San Diego."I AM" is one of my two "Spiritual" songs that were accepted into the National International Association Of Unity Churches Song Books this year. This song was inspired by my being the Unity Of Sedona evening music director for well over a year. My husband/partner Tom and I, alongside Rev. Sandra Soley Keep, developed an energetic music oriented service we called "Sunday Night Live" from the ground up."Thru It All" is up for a movie theme and my husband/partner and I co-wrote this song with me. We wrote this song and sang it as our vows when we got married. FYI - Tom has a magnificent voice and awesome entertainer. We perform together on a regular basis with our own shows in and around Sedona as well as many gigs that we go back into California for on a yearly basis."The Prosperity Song" is another of my compositions that came into being during my music directing at the church. It's now played during the offertory at the Flagstaff Church Of Religious Science.Besides the concerts and shows that Tom and I are performing, I am also hired often to demo other songwriter's songs. Lately I've been working with the great team of Babcock & Star as their demo singer. You'll find their photos on my site under My Friends. Just click on those photos and you'll be able to hear my voice on their incredible tunes.If you enjoy the songs you hear on these two sites, I invite you to keep visiting them as I am currently setting up a way for people to purchase and download many of my originals for .99 in which will be available soon. Thanks for visiting my sites!!

Influences: I'm influenced by SO many songwriters. I'm a HUGE Sting, Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crowe fan! I adore the voices of Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin, Christina Agulara and Martina McBride. Some of the great songwriters that have influenced my writing would be The Beatles of course, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Van Morrison and Carol King. As far as some of the songwriting legends that have influenced me in one way or another would be Sammy Cahn, Soundheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cole Porter, Gershwin, Rogers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Lowe. My influences in spiritual music are Ricky Byers, Karen Drucker and Jan Garrett & J.D. Martin.
Sounds Like: Lots of people have told me throughout the years when hearing my rock and power balad originals, that to them I sound like Bonnie Raitt, Pat Benatar and Cher (?!) See what you think!
