About Me

~~Willow, also known as Shonie Wells~~I began writing music on my guitar a few years ago...as an outlet outside of the more producer driven stuff that I normally do. Guitar led me down a strange road...away from the rock and neo-soul route that I enjoy with other musicians to a more folky, personal space. What followed were my virgin attempts at recording some ideas on my home studio...my foray into the land of the one-woman band. Funnily enough, my accoustic work led me to an impromptu rooftop session that would introduce me to Ivan Dupee, of Dupee Productions and Level Next Music. With him I began developing a truly satisfying amalgamation of guitar and voice driven folk and the more polished sounds of the neo-soul movement. As recording progresses, I hope to share some of the music from my upcoming release.I would like to extend my gratitude to the many incredible bands and individual musicians that I have been blessed to work with, including but not limited to: My father, Dan Snyder, Chico Rey, Ivan Dupee, Richard Patterson, RB Green, Shon Dervis Smith, Clyde Davis, Matt Sherell,All the members of The Shonie Wells Project, Seed, Spheres of Influence, and Endiskize.
