Shannon “Sangin’ Diva” Pearson began her professional career at the age of 15, doing studio work around Los Angeles. Since then she’s sung background for the likes of Jeffrey Osborne, Natalie Cole, Patty La Belle, Katy Perry, Diddy, and many more.
On this show, Shannon reveals how she gets such amazing gigs, the art of being a background singer, and how to diplomatically walk away from a bad gig.
MENTIONS:
SINGING LESSONS:
- Some gigs aren’t for you. Every gig isn’t going to be a grand gig, every gig isn’t going to be one that you’re going to love. Even if the music is cool there are other factors.
- All money isn’t good money. It’s okay to walk away from things.
- There’s an art to being a background singer.
- If you need to do other things while you’re making that dream happen, do it.
