Chicago born and raised, Shanara The MouthPeace is a product of hip-hop's “golden era”, soul and gospel music. From her youth, she's been a lyricist and vocalist, singing from the playground to the choir in her hood, to the now over saturated spoken word scene in urban
America. She finally found her own voice and style and crowned herself The MouthPeace. (A title well earned since you can add voiceovers, actress and radio personality to her bio).

AS a world traveler, she's taught hip hop dance while on a year long corporate assignment in Dublin, Ireland. Most recently, she's been accepted to complete a teaching artist residency in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Sometimes compared to her artistic role model, Jill Scott, she is still set apart in her own right. Her album, “The Discipline & The Diligence” (D&D), features some of her most well known songs, “Jazz & Him” and “Reindeer Games”, which has been heralded by several critics and is in rotation on internet radio. D&D is a unique balance showcasing her singing, pure prose and spoken word with obvious hip hop and jazz undertones.
