Explain who you are for those who don’t know
My name is TShannell and I am a composer and writer. I am an advocate and investigator of the truth.
How did you come up with your name?
My first name is “Tatianna” and my middle name is “Shannell” . It’s actually my name and it has a nice ring to it as well as looks good to me on paper.
Where are you from?
I was born in Camden but i was raised in Columbia, the met , the 803 .
Whats it like growing up where your from?
I come from a city where small minds are always bored. Everybody wants a way out but nobody wants to pave that way . They want handouts or want or want to leech off your success . If everybody associated their success with one anothers success we would all collectively progress. SC is really a boiling pot right now. Atlanta is the prime example of a city putting their self on so I’m a firm believer SC can as well. Its the south so it be hot down here.
How did you get into music?
Growing up I always listened to music . I was always around it , every where I went I was hearing it . I felt disconnected from my environment as a child not always being familiar with every song so I’d always go look it up later and continue to listen, return and be just as knowledgeable as all the old heads. Music moves me in a way nothing in my life does. Nothing can tap into my emotions so deeply and quickly. The only thing more powerful than speech is music. I’m an introvert so music gives me an opportunity to take abstract ideas and organize my thoughts.
What makes you different than other artists?
Artists do not inspire me. I dont sound like Lauryn because she doesnt inspire me. I dont sound like MC Lyte because she doesnt inspire me. Although I do listen to these women, everything I experience and observe is the sole resource and influence of everything I write. Although it may be relatable, my bars are still 100% an extension of myself.
What are you currently working on?
My next tape . #METAMORPHOSIS I also have some videos I am putting together for my music as well.
Anything you would like to say?
You came from your mother so basically you are your mother and your mother is you. On the grand scheme of things, when i say Iove myself I’m really saying I love you too reflection but insecure ass niggas either hating or scared to show love . If you scared to show me love I don’t want it . I wantsupport from those that when I say “I love myself reflection” the only response is “I love myself reflection” .
