Shonna Stallworth

As a seasoned musics professional with over 25 years in the business, I understand first hand the value of delivering what you promise. I appreciate integrity and trust it manages both sides of the table. I’m punctual, and conscious of time on and off the stage. I manage both front end and backend systems to ensure quality of service from start to finish. My musical genre reaches from oldies to goodies with new released and self published works to offer. I work well with others and can easily command the stage as a soloist or with my personal or any house band.

As an event/wedding planner I’ve coordinated events for clients with event sizes ranging from 10 to over 2000. I have strong vendor relationships within the entertainment and business community that add value to the bottom line. I listen well and do my very best to bring each vision to life. I take the lead from concept to creation and work with a team of experienced professionals who are both trusted and true. References are available to speak to what we will do for you.
