Shannon Chapman is a rising force in the Canadian neo-soul scene, captivating audiences with her effortlessly smooth sound and deeply personal lyrics. An instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer, she brings her autonomous vision to all aspects of her practice, blending sultry woodwinds, lush jazz harmonies, and laid-back grooves to create a musical atmosphere that’s as introspective as it is funky. 

Shannon’s artistry has garnered praise from both the press and industry tastemakers, landing her spots on high-profile Apple Music Editorial playlists like New in R&B, Smooth and Easy, and Grown N Sexy. Her sophisticated songwriting and production style have earned her a reputation for breezily combining meticulous musicianship with soulful and groovy style. 

From intimate solo performances to full band shows, Shannon has graced notable stages such as the Markham Jazz Festival, the Next Wave Jazz Series, Sunset Sessions, and Fresh Up Festival, and has had tracks presented at The Listening Party Music Producer Showcase and the Women in Music Canada Summit.

Her 2020 debut EP, Ebb & Flow, delved into themes of self-reflection, emotional struggle, and breaking bad habits. But with her recent 2024 release Playing Games, Shannon’s music shifts in a lighter, more empowered direction - celebrating new beginnings, authenticity, and embracing life on her own terms. In 2025, she is writing, producing, and filming her next project.
