“I really love the old school hip-hop artists and rappers and grew up admiring them on television and imitating what I saw,” Brown said. “Tacoma, Washington wasn’t really the ‘hood, but I still learned my music and beats on the street and took on some choice rap battles of my own.”
In a rap battle, two rappers throw down beats trying to “diss” or “out rhyme” the other rapper. Brown always got excited about her ability to take on her opponents and win. The practice helped her find her way into an up-and-coming girl group and finally record some of her beats.
“I was excited to record some music and really have the opportunity to learn more about the business and follow in the footsteps of the old school stars I watched on television,”
Shanavea has since connected with a music producer who took her under a wing and inspired her to write and record more music. Featuring a rhythmic beat; hip-hop and pop sounds; background techno-funk;
Shanavea continues to advance the old school style of her inspirational muses while making sure rap battles, early hip-hop, techo-funk music and the Afrika Bambaataa tradition never dies.
“I’m very excited about how far I’ve come so far in my musical career and look forward to making more great music for all of my fans,” she said. “I look forward to becoming the next big teen artist.”
