About Me


My name is Shawna, and music is my life. So much so, that I dropped out of University for it – much to the demise of my family. I then enrolled in Harris Institute's Recording Arts Management program and graduated with honours in November 2007. I worked for The Management Trust as a receptionist until Feburary 2008, and my short-lived career has since been put on hold (possibly indefinitely) so that I can focus on brewing the little human being that's taken up residence inside my body.

So, come October 27th 2008 (give or take a couple weeks), I will officially be joining all the other moms in the world - preferably minus the minivan, teased hair, and wardrobe from Northern Reflections. (note: if it ever comes to this, please kill me.)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone. Maybe even you.
