Los Angeles songstress India Shawn champions self-love and divine femininity within her soulfully sultry, psychedelia-infused R&B. Breaking into the business during 2010, she penned songs for everyone from Chris Brown and Diddy-Dirty Money to El Debarge, Keri Hilson, and Monica as part of the writing collective Full Circle. Following her 2012 debut Origin, she made waves and turned heads as an artist with “I’m Alive”—which Solange Knowles touted on the 2013 Saint Heron compilation.
Opening for Raury and Ryan Leslie, she lent her voice to Ludacris’s chart-topping Ludaversal and served up the Outer Limits EP during 2015. Along the way, she garnered praise from tastemakers, including HYPEBEAST, Billboard, Okayplayer, Essence, Noisey, Uproxx and more. In 2019, Kanye West sought her out to perform as part of the historic Sunday Service at Coachella 2019 and Anderson .Paak also invited her on the road to finish up the year as she began recording her next chapter.
In 2020, after touring with The Free Nationals and appearing on NPR’s highly revered Tiny Desk, India reintroduced herself to the world with her new chapter of music with a steady stream of releases including her latest, “Not Too Deep” featuring 6lack, and “Movin’ On” featuring Anderson .Paak, the latter of which has already garnered over 5 million worldwide streams.
