John Rich calls Shanna Crooks, "One of the best songwriters I've run into in a long time," and "one of the most impressive people I have ever met." High praise, indeed, and much deserved. Shanna was introduced to the Mafia in 2005 when she signed with Godfather Richs publishing company, and became an official member of the Family as an artist in 2006. Underneath her unmistakable charm and soaring vocals is an honest, soul-filled artist with a message that speaks to both men and women: be true to yourself, be strong and be beautiful. Shannas influences range from the edge of Aerosmith and Heart, to the classic moods of Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder; all combining to create a unique and powerful blend of pop, rock and soul.
Welcome to the Family, Ms. Crooks.
