About Shanaz Dorsett
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember running downstairs to the kitchen and proclaiming to my mum - “I’m not a dancer anymore, I’m a singer!”. I wasn’t actually a dancer but had memorised Mary J Blige’s “Everything” and that triumph changed me! (I was 9).
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fiona Apple, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do (Expanded Edition) Frank Ocean, channel ORANGE Mary J. Blige, My Life Bonus Track Version For me, these albums are so moreish - lyrically and sonically you fall in love with the songs on the first listen. But there’s always more to discover in the storytelling, vocals and production
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Be Afraid” This song feels like the mission statement for why I make music. All the stories within me are my power - and the less shame I have about telling them, the more empowered I feel (even when I’m the victim or the bad guy of the story).
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Opening for Kelis at a sold-out show at Jazz Cafe. Perform for a crowd and then fangirl right after. Perfect night.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Write a hit for a bigger, poppier artist. As much as I love writing my own quirky tunes, I have some bangers and ballads saved up that need to see the light of day!
