About Shawna P
The Queen of Funk- Shawna P Usher says her voice is like fine wine: Shakira says she is the perfect singer- perfect pitch, perfect tone: Rick Hall of the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Ala., defines Shawna P as likely “The best soul singer I have ever heard”; Adam Levine says, “This girl’s just a bad ass,” and George Clinton calls her “The Long Lost Queen of Funk;” Shawna P has a big voice; and she has the personality to match. Shawna P is as REAL as they come. Anyone who knows her will tell you, Shawna P is the truth. She is The Queen of the EarthFunk Tribe, The Funk Preacha, Pure Mother Earth Energy. She calls her original blend of music EarthFunk Muzik and refers to her supporters as the EarthFunk Tribe The best part about her is she never meets a stranger…Ever. She lights up a room with her song and her soul. Shawna P is not only a powerful voice, she’s an accomplished singer/songwriter. In 2013, Shawna P was among 50,000+ hopefuls to audition for Season 4 of NBC’s hit show “The Voice.”She was just another singer vying for her chance at success. Then the big call came! She was flown to L.A. from the Gulf Coast of Alabama (the “other L.A.,” as she calls it, referring to the moniker adopted by those who hail from “Lower Alabama”) and found herself in Hollywood among 230+ hopefuls. Then, after executive auditions, the contestants were whittled down to 130, prepped and ready to sing their hearts out to the backs of four big red chairs, that respectively seated four current mega stars in the music industry ( Blake Shelton, Usher, Shakira and Adam Levine of Maroon 5). The unique grit and power of Shawna P’s voice turned two of those big red chairs-- Adam Levine’s “You have a voice on you. We want what you got.”and Shakira’s-- landing her a spot on Season 4 of The Voice. Needless to say, Shawna P’s life changed forever. She would be singing on the #1 television show in America, NBC’s “The Voice,”and the world would finally hear what her fans have been enjoying for years. America immediately fell in love with the Southern funk,soul rocker from Alabama and so did international superstar Shakira, whom Shawna P strategically chose as her mentor. As Shakira said, “Your voice needs to be on the radio today. YOU are exactly what we are missing. You have so much rock and roll inside of you,” Shawna P did not disappoint her fans or her coach, charting in the Top 200 on iTunes, and gracefully beating out the competition to make it to the top 32-- out of 50,000 singers who initially auditioned for the show. Shawna P confidently yet humbly began pulling at our heartstrings with her raw, emotional style of singing and, seemingly effortlessly, cast her own enchanting web of southern grit and flavor on classics from The Black Crowes, Janis Joplin and Paul McCartney (Shawna P, on the other hand, brought an almost religious fervor to “Maybe I’m Amazed” that unearthed a bluesy, world-weary side of the song I never knew existed- Michael Slezak, tvlnline.com).. If only she could have performed some of her signature EarthFunk Muzik for those coaches, she may well have won the whole competition.(
