Artist Bio
Shonyasha is a singer-songwriter entrepreneur from Florida by way of Bermuda. Her late mother, Angela Denise Proctor, played a vital role in supporting her musical journey by providing vocal training under the tutelage of John Woolridge, which gained the attention of Viacom executives. As a teen, she participated in high school musical theater and traveled to sing at various secular events. God placed Shonyasha on a journey that led her from Bermuda to Florida. Her passion for worship, songwriting, and love of Christ spills into her relatable lyrics and soulful melodies. “Music is the language that bound me to him!”
Audiences are moved by her Christian Neo-Soul flare which creates a tranquil atmosphere for worship. Shonyasha is a fresh, new soulful sound and her music is beyond the vocals. It is likened to the calm subtle waves of the vast ocean waters meeting the shoreline. With each encounter, every key, note, melody, and harmony is like a sweet verbal exchange between her and the Father.
Her debut single “Sent from Heaven” (January 2021) is a display of the different facets of God’s love for his creation and how he turns pain into purpose and trials into triumph. In times like these, this song encourages us to abide in God and allow his love to reflect through us to the earth.
Since dedicating her life to the Lord Shonyasha serves as a
worship leader at her local church. Her music testifies to the goodness of God through life experiences; written from a vulnerable place of struggles and how she has overcome those obstacles through Christ’s love.
