Shaznays musical influences include Rap and Missy Elliott; In addition, she grew up listening to Bob Marley and Johnny Mathis. It was the music of Alanis Morissette who encouraged Shaznay to take her music one step further. On 21 August 2004 Shaznay married Christian Storm and has her first child with Storm in early 2006.
Singing came naturally to Shaznay who had been entering singing contests since the age of thirteen. At a party she was introduced to Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot of Curiosity Killed the Cat by her friends who took her to the Metamorphisis recording studios on All Saints Road, London and started doing backing vocals.
It was at the Metamorphisis recording studios where Shaznay met Melanie Blatt in 1993 and proceeded to record together. Together with Simone Rainford they formed the band All Saints 1.9.7.5 which was later renamed to All Saints when Simone left and Nicole and Natalie Appleton joined Melanie and Shaznay.
Shaznay has been the most active songwriter of the All Saints and was responsible for writing most of the songs including many hits. In 2001 Shaznay won the Ivor Novello Award for best songwriting. After the group broke up, Shaznay was the last All Saint to pursue a solo career, releasing her debut single "Never Felt Like This Before" in July 2004. It reached ..8 and is taken from the Top 30 album Open (..22). The next single released was "You" which failed to chart, but which featured a romantic video with an image of her husband in the clouds.
Shaznay also played in several films. In Bend it like Beckham (2001) Shaznay played Mel and also played a minor role in Hideous Man (2002). On November 14, 2004 Shaznay was involved in the Band Aid 20 re-recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas".
On January 24th 2006 it was announced that All Saints have reformed with a new record contract and a new album at the end of 2006
After releasing comeback All Saints album Studio 1, with a top 3 hit single, Rock Steady, All Saints are in the studio working on their follow up album. In the meantime, Shaznay Lewis is featured on the Wideboys single Daddy-O OUT NOW!!.
