India Shawn

India Shawn is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter who has transitioned from a high-demand industry songwriter to a leading voice in the contemporary R&B landscape. Her early career was defined by her work with the Full Circle writing team, contributing to projects for Chris Brown, Monica, and Diddy.

This technical foundation in pop-soul songwriting is evident in her solo work, which balances commercial accessibility with deep musicality. Her 2012 debut 'Origin' established her as a 'singer's singer,' earning early endorsements from Solange Knowles. Her evolution continued through collaborative projects like 'Outer Limits' with James Fauntleroy, which leaned into more psychedelic and experimental R&B territories. Critically, she is praised for her 'vocal stacking' technique, a hallmark of the LA R&B scene that emphasizes complex, multi-tracked harmonies. Her recent work, particularly 'BEFORE WE GO,' solidifies her position alongside peers like Alex Isley and Tiana Major9, focusing on high-fidelity production, emotional transparency, and a sound that bridges the gap between 90s soul and 2020s alternative R&B.
