Shani Womack's voice is rich, warm, soulful and soothing. Music came naturally to this songstress. She was known to entertain family and friends by belting out a Donna Summers tune into the vacuum-cleaner handle. Shani was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, the oldest of four children and the daughter of a Baptist preacher. She has always loved to sing and perform for an audience. At age 6, she began singing in the church choir and continued on with formal classical vocal training through college. While there, at Grambling State University, Shani helped to form the R&B singing group, “Harmonee,” with her childhood friend and neighbor, Miko Marks (Award winning Country/Soul Singer). They were soon joined by Erykah Badu (now an award-winning neo-soul artist) to round out the trio. Together, they became one of the most popular groups in the area, performing on campus, for local radio and TV programs, and as an opening act for concerts. Over the years, Shani has nurtured a love for stories and storytelling. She has become an engaging storyteller who loves to share her own family stories as well as Jamaican folktales and songs from her heritage. However, Shani is known best for her jazzy and soulful take on gospel and embracing Christian neo-soul. Her first solo project, "No Turning Back," was released April 20, 2013. Her latest work, "To Flint With Love," is an open letter to the city of Flint and to the world. It captures the frustration, the anger, the yearning, and the hope of Flint residents. "To Flint with Love" released August 28, 2016, is available on ITUNES, Amazon, Spotify, CDbaby and at shaniwomack.com.
