To speak of Shawna Divine musically, she is a phenomenal vocalist who ranges from tenor, contralto, to second soprano. She has a deeply soulful, powerful projection that she seemingly effortlessly controls and pulls back to a smooth sweet falsetto. With a background in gospel with, rock, soul, alternative, and R&B influences, this songstress enjoys singing many genres of music.

 

Her presence onstage is powerful, unique, and refreshing. Shawna Divine holds her own as a solo a cappella vocalist, easily blends as a strong background vocalist, and is also a powerhouse lead vocalist with live band accompaniment. Notable performances recently, include Light City Baltimore 2017 (Spread Light Sandtown) as lead vocalist with ColurBlynd, background vocals for  “Jazzo” with “Mixed Ancestry” at Baltimore Pride Festival 2017.

 

As a percussionist Shawna Divine has performed with her children “5trybe” per Christina Cook’s Rhythm Key at the Baltimore Refugee Rescue Day with Kim Poole. Shawna Divine and 5trybe have contributed their cohesive, synchronistic, percussive  vibration to various organic spaces throughout the city. As an adult living with high functioning autism managing the care of her children two of whom are also on the autism spectrum music, art and abundant creativity outlets are employed as a coping mechanism in all of their daily lives.  The presentation of these superlative gifts have manifest in the Omnifarious realms of media the artist uses to express herself.
