Using meaningful lyrics and drawing creative influences from genres such as Soul, Pop, RnB and Indie, Official Shannon has featured multiple times on BBC Music Introducing in Essex. After many air plays and an exclusive live session and interview for the BBC, she had finished her first year of music releases by being picked as one of The Best Live Sessions of 2021 alongside Dodie and Sam Ryder.

Official Shannon has been performing for over a decade and has a very theatrical background. She grew up training to be a theatre performer at prestigious institutions such as The BRIT School and The University of Chichester Conservatoire but during the rise of the Covid-19 pandemic, Official Shannon turned her focus to creating and recording her own original music from home. Since the return of live music, she has already put on a countless amount of shows touring the London circuit and formed an incredible live soul band that occasionally supports her at bigger shows.
