My name is Shoshana. I am a musician. At the age of 9, I won "Student of the Month" award at the Suniland Music Store. I auditioned for and was accepted to the talented music program at Southwood Junior High. I played violin, viola, and then double bass in the orchestra. Studied piano. Sang in the chorus. Studied theory. I started taking private lessons with Dr. Rosalina Sackstein at the University of Miami. After graduation, I auditioned for PAVAC (Performing Arts and Visual Arts Center) and was accepted!
The next year PAVAC transformed into New World School of the Arts. I auditioned and was accepted. I was in two bands. Emerald Steel (heavy metal) and then Wonderland (groovy). I participated in three concerto competions.
After gradudation, I was accepted at the University of Miami School of Music, where I resumed studies with Dr. Rosalina Sackstein. I entered the Miss University of Miami pageant, where I was a finalist twice.
After that, I got a high score on the LSAT and went to law school at the Univ. of Miami. I graduated with honors, while working full time at Island Records. Passed the Florida Bar. Moved to New York, and joined Motown, passed the New York Bar. Much debauchery ensued. Moved back to Miami and joined BMG U.S. Latin.
