Meet Shonte Renee - Shonte Renee is a liberated woman who lives life on her own terms, a soulful and melodic singer that deliberately offers sexuality as part of the package. Her vibe is all about artistic expression and going against the grain in every aspect of life. As a result, the Atlanta, GA native is part sex symbol, part rebel and part sweetheart, a dichotomy that explains the diversity of her audience and music. Shonte is truly a classy lady who rocks. In addition to being sexually expressive, she also pushes boundaries with her sound, preferring to blend genres such as Pop, Rock, R&B and Hip-Hop. Shonte’s lyrics echo her fearless persona touching on personal subject matter that contains both emotion and heart, as well as challenges and surprises. Via https://soundcloud.com/shonterenee
