Shauney is pictured here with her dog Sammy who is about to become a qualified charity dog that visits sick children in hospital.

Born in Washington D.C. , Shauney grew up around music thanks to the early support of her mother and father who was a founding member of the R&B group The Delfonics. In addition to exposure to music from a listening standpoint, Shauney developed her vocal skills singing in church. Shauney further expanded her scope of music as she trained as a vocalist at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Therein, Shauney studied musical theory, sight reading, and orchestral arrangement and drum rudiments. Drumming and percussion however became her primary focus as she studied various styles including jazz, big band, gospel, and R&B. Shauney later accepted a music scholarship to the University of the District of Columbia where she majored in percussive studies.

During college Shauney started touring with various artists such as Salt N' Pepa, Cree Summer, Paulina Rubio and many others. After moving to Los Angeles she appeared as drummer for the FOX Television's The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show and BET's Lyric Café.

Shauney is the drummer for Will.I.Am. She also played drums for multi platinum recording artist Hilary Duff and is making waves in the media as one of the most powerful female drummers in the industry.

Shauney is endorsed by a number of companies such as Tama Drums, Pro-Mark sticks, Meinl Cymbals and Remo drumheads. Shauney is also an ambassador for Kids with a Cause non-profit charity organization for disadvantaged youth.
