A native of Pittsburgh, PA. Shauna Mishel has always had a love for music, as a very small child her parents had to put a radio in her room so that she would sleep at night. By age 11 Shauna became popular around her peers in the hip-hop community for her rhyming ability and the fact that she could free-style and that she made rap songs and could really sing her hooks. Her culturally diverse up bringing gave her an eclectic edge even landed her a spot as one of the pioneers of the dancehall scene in Pittsburgh. Dubbed Shauna Ranks "The Golden Voice", she appeared on the same stages as "Beenie Man" and many others. It is her versatility that makes it easy for a wide range of producers to work with her. "For the most part I already have a story to tell I just need the musical landscape with emotion behind it to bring it to fruition. The debut cd " To Be or Not To Be" is a collection of experiences that provoked thought or emotion. I want to reach people with this cd because I believe that happiness, joy, pain, love, purpose etc, are universal and someone somewhere is, was, or will be feeling what I've felt and they will relate", says Shauna. "To Be or Not To Be" has strong tracks mainly smooth urban groove its one to listen to straight through. Shauna Mishel is currently working on completion of To Be Or Not To Be.

Why this name?
Shauna Mishel is my first and middle name, I used to have a stage name Shauna Ranks, but it didn't fit with all of my sound and style.
Do you play live?
Yes, anywhere that I can when I am not recording. I love it, all of them are special and unique, but I would have to say opening up for Ron Isley (Mr. Big) I grew up studying him and others.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives us all the opportunity to promote ourselves and get feedback and audiences, that may have limited us in the past without internet or MP3.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would ask for a distribution deal. I would be open to writing and producing for others as well.
Your influences?
Stevie Wonder, Ron Isley, Roy Ayers, Marvin Gaye, Leroy Hudson, Patti Labelle, Phylis Hymann, Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, Nina Simone, Dorothy Dandridge, Billie Holiday , there are some artists out there currently that I do appreciate.
Favorite spot?
No Doubt Two Places- Harlem NYC and Kingston JA.
Equipment used:
Motif and Yamaha Digital Workstation, Protools.
Anything else...?
I would like to Thank everyone for listening and supporting me. I do this because I love it and its like therapy. I would like to thank God for opening doors and giving me the strength to close some. I would like to thank my big boy D- Riggs your about to blow up son! I love You. Clarisha (Weezy), I love You thank you for the tracks and the all the love.
