The Full Story

Shantel Norman is a social media influencer, blogger, musician, performer, marketer etc that is passionate about travel, fashion, style and female empowerment.  

As a music professional from Lexington, North Carolina but based in Sarasota, Florida, Shantel Norman is always looking for opportunities to develop her technical skills and collaborate with creative professionals. She has already worked on several groundbreaking projects and continue to push herself in stretching her imagination and boundaries. 

At the age of 15 working at the Dairy Queen in her hometown she was listening to the radio and heard that Mary J Blige was going to be coming to a city near her. Mary J Blige is Shantel's Idol and she wanted to go to the concert so bad. The competition on the radio stated the person who could sing Mary J Blige's song "A Dream" could win front row tickets to her concert. Shantel called the station and sung Mary J Blige's "A Dream" like Mary J Blige was listening on the other line and blew everyone away.
