Shawn Chappelle

While the industry is flooded with all genres of music, Shawn Chappelle is the love chile of soul music which is evident in her ballads and recordings. Her style captures the essence of what it is to be in love, to be let down and to liberate yourself as a strong woman and not get caught up in unnecessary behavior. As she operates in the art of music, Shawn began singing in the church choir in her younger days. Singing lead in an all girl group and displaying a rare vocal talent even as a youth, Shawn crafted her style by not only knowing how to sing, but lending her strengths to pulling off a flawless performance.

And in the studio’s, when it comes to making a hit, she has blazed a trail for up and coming artist’s that can create their own style as well as collaborate with hip hop artist’s and musicians. Tweaking the right hook to a mid tempo flow of lyrics, while developing a formula for being real about making music that soothes your soul. It may not always be a song about love as Shawn shares an experience of love, when it is tamed and not out of control in “Everything I Need.” But making the separation from being in true love and not being played makes Shawn appeal catchy, lending to an array of versatile topics like in “Perfect Story” that make you think. When you hear her songs, you know that it is not only original music, but it’s honest, like in “Shorty Wanna Rock” a cute mid-tempo song that is expressive in displaying the flirty nature of a female, and tasteful in it’s approach to booking a brother. That’s why it’s good to always be diverse so at the end of the day a true evaluation would be unfair if you just labeled her as an R&B artist.

Shawn has demonstrated that it’s not difficult gaining recognition in the industry because time is the only testament to one that is truly gifted in taking control and making the transition between real hip-hop, R&B, neo soul and jazz provided that the list goes on.

Look for Shawn to continue to shape an impression in her own right and make appearances as an artist that is whole that brings to you music for the soul.
