About the Singer
A Creative Presence
I'm a Latin Artist born in Miami, FL. I was raised by Colombian parents in San Diego, CA which is were I have lived almost all of my life. So what got me into music?...I grew up as a figure skater, dancer, musician and have been playing guitar and piano since I can remember. I've had the most supportive family which is the reason why I'm able to even be an artist in the first place. They've done everything in their power to give me all the opportunities to be able to chase my dreams. I'd be living a completely different life with not even close to as many opportunities if my mom didn't move to the states and meet my dad who took me in as his own. I don't know where I'd be. They are my angels.
I started my swimwear line at 16 with my mom as a business partner to create my entrepreneur life and scale it as far as it can go. At 15 I started posting myself singing, playing guitar and piano and landed my first music deal when I was 17. I left the label at 18 and taught myself how to produce and release my own music how I want it and became an independent artist. At 22 I attended RRFC in Los Angeles graduating as a professional Music Producer. I've been able to grow as an artist and be heard by exactly 593,000 people all over the world which I'm so proud of! One day the whole world will know and love my music. But right now.. I'm so happy with those 593,000 people who have heard and watched my art that I've made with so much love and passion in my studio. Having to make my own music, my own music videos, be my own manager, make things happen on my own has brought the best days of my life... and some. not so great ones. It's brought excitement, breakdowns, nerves, anxiety, laughs, anger, joy, fear, happy tears, sadness tears, adrenalin, thrill. Every feeling I could have possibly felt. And if it weren't for my family, my friends, the people that have come into my life and have left... I would have not been able to get to where I am or where I'm going. Now I have a team on my side growing with me and the rest is yet to play out. Thats my story and it's not even close to the end! To those reading this, thank you for taking the time. It means more than you know.
with all my love, Shantal ♥️

Soy de Miami, FL. Fui criada de papas colombianos en San Diego, CA, que es donde he vivido la mayor parte de mi vida. (soy definitivamente mas Colombiana q Americana pa dejarlo claro jaja ;) Entonces, ¿qué me llevó a la música? ... He tocado guitarra y piano desde chiquita hasta ahorita. Crecí como patinadora de hielo, bailarina folclórica, música y he tenido la familia más divina que pudiera pedir. Han hecho todo lo posible para darme todas las oportunidades y que pueda perseguir mis sueños. Viviría una vida completamente diferente sin tantas oportunidades si mi mamá no se hubiera mudara a los Estados Unidos y conociera a mi papá, quien me crio como si fuera suyo. Soy suyo. No sé dónde estaría sin mis ángeles que son mi mama y mi papa. ️
Comencé mi línea de bikinis a los 16 años con mi mama como socia para crear mi vida de emprendedora y llevar a Sonsha Swim lo más lejos posible. Por diversión, me publicaba cantando, tocando la guitarra y el piano y por eso me firmó mi primera disquera musical cuando tenía 17 años. Me fui a los 18 para aprender a producir y lanzar mi propia música como quiero, como me gusta y ser un artista independiente. ¡He podido crecer como artista y ser escuchada por exactamente 593,000 personas internacionalmente, de lo cual estoy muy orgullosa! Un día será el mundo entero conociendo y amando mi música. Pero ahora mismo ... Estoy tan feliz con esas 593.000 personas que han escuchado y visto mi arte que he hecho con tanto amor y pasión en mi estudio. Tener que hacer mi propia música, mis propios videos musicales, ser mi propio jefe, hacer que las cosas sucedan por mi cuenta me ha traído los mejores días de mi vida... y unos no tan buenos jaja. Ha traído risa, dolor, alegría, ansiedad, felicidad, nervios, lágrimas, adrenalina, emoción. Cada sentimiento que uno podría sentir. Y si no fuera por mi familia, mis amigos, las personas que han estado y se han ido por motivos de la vida ... no hubiera podido llegar a donde estoy ni a donde voy. ¡Esa es mi historia y ni siquiera está cerca al final! A quienes lean esto, gracias por tomarse el tiempo. Significa más de lo que crees.
Con todo el amor, Shantal ♥️
