Songwriting Shane

When you hear the distinctive voice of Songwriting Shane, you think "Original Artist". A gifted Visionary, Shane describes her writing style as "Millennial Rock". As a classically trained pianist since the age of 3, Shane won her first National Talent Competition at age 14; which included cutting  her first record with Capitol Records, a monetary music scholarship from Julliard School of Music in NYC and screen test with Columbia Pictures.

In Her Own Words:

My name is Shane. I began playing piano at the age of 4, and by age 14, I  won 1st place in a National Talent Competition in the US, cut a record  with Capital Records and was awarded a monetary music scholarship from  Julliard School of Music in NYC. In New York, I honed my talent as a Singer/Songwriter, and was an accepted member of the AGAC American Guild  of Actors & Composers in NY, of which I am very grateful. 

I  continued writing, recording music, performed in off-Broadway theater  productions, put together a top 40 band & sang in various clubs,  casinos, etc. Soon, I recorded with top producers at Phila. Int'l  Recording Studios. However, due to the drastic change in the music  industry, the money I received in the music business was not enough to  pay my mortgage, bills in a single home in New Jersey. I changed careers  and became a NJ State Correction Officer & entertained the sick in  hospitals & nursing homes on my days off.

The Colleges I attended  were La Salle University in Philadelphia and Camden County College. My  studies included Industrial Relations, Corporate Communications,  Contract Compliance, Psychology & Law; and earned highest honors  Golden Key & Phi Theta Kappa & PSI Beta.
In 2001, I was a  crucial part of the Urgent Response to NY on 9/11 as Team Leader of  C.I.S.M.'s Int'l Critical Incident Stress Mgt Team (I was personally  requested and dispatched out of New Jersey for four long grueling  months). As a result, I underwent my own brutal recovery & intense  therapy needed to restore my own health due to life
threatening  assignments & intense exposure to bio-hazardous & deadly toxins.

The only thing that brought relief was listening to and playing music. I  began recording songs with Grammy Award winning Producer Andy Kravitz  & jumped back into my music career with a new defiance and  conviction. Andy helped bring out my most beautiful & orchestral  rock sounds from deep within my soul & out into his studio in NJ. I  recorded with the Hooters Band with Producers John O. Senior & Rob  Hyman & cut my 1st album "SHANE and THE HIGH COMMAND". 

Presently,  I am a member of the Nat'l Academy of Recording Artists (NARAS) &  Voting Member with the professional Grammy Assoc. One of high points in  my career was the release of my song "Arise". This was a blessing from  God. It is a strong ballad about and an Anthem for Survivors and Peace  Makers around the world. I'm very thankful to have worked on this  project with great Award-Winning Producers and Artists, namely: David  Longoria, Robert Eibach, Andy Kravitz, John O. Senior, Blue Eagle and  Michael Lazarus. 

LOVE AND HELP ONE ANOTHER NO MATTER WHAT!!
Sing more ... Dance more ... Smile more ... Love more ...
Love Always,
SHANE
