About Shannon
Shannon, born Brenda Shannon Greene, grew up in Washington, D.C., and Brooklyn before singing with the New York Jazz Ensemble while at college. A meeting with drummer Lenny White led to recording sessions and the emergence of her dance career. Let the Music Play, produced by Mark Liggett and Chris Barbosa for Emergency, placed her voice over emphatic electronic rhythms and synthesizer bass, making her an important early presence in freestyle dance music.
