''If Erykah Badu, Björk, Amy Winehouse, Kimbra and Portishead (the whole band formation from 1997) all made love in this giant orgy until a musical baby was born and gave that baby a Valium, that baby would be your singer friend'' Said a friend of Lisa Shalom about New Zealand-born Shannon Lawn's solo project, iamLawn. Shannon was brought up playing piano in a musical family and fell in love with jazz while going to her mum’s jazz gigs as a kid. After her first European travel at 18 years, she returned to New Zealand to study jazz vocals at the New Zealand School of Music. She graduated with a first-class Honors degree and a postgradute award. During her studies Shannon worked and studied with incredible artists such as ‘Rakalam’ Bob Moses, Rodger Fox and Thomas Voyce. To bring her first album into fruition, Shannon spent a year in Portugal writing over 900 songs and ideas, of which she selected five to be mixed in Las Vegas with Georgia-Anne Muldrow. She spent a week with Georgia learning about Georgia’s working method and returned to Europe with an EP. Shannon works as a consultant and composer/vocalist for various clients around the world, helping other artist’s bring their musical visions into a reality. One of her recent vocal works was composed for Netflix and can be found on the Netflix Series, Berlin Dogs.
