As the music industry continues to circulate and evolve, there are certain figures that always stand out. Shawney Rainne is one such artist, ready to return with her upcoming EP ‘Alter Ego’, released on 19th May 2023.
Through the lead single “Daddy Issues” listeners were given a small glimpse of what the hard-hitting hip-hop, RnB and pop-infused project had in store. Rainne’s music may be tinged with similarity to that of Adele, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, yet her story is one of incredible resilience.
Having been adopted at a young age, Shawney’s life was quickly clouded in controlling family life, effectively stifling her creativity and self-expression. Dragging her feet through these oppressive years, determined to break free, Shawney successfully achieved her goal, and since has gone above and beyond to give back to the music community.

You could find her curating music events and fashion shows across multiple genres, as the recipient of a Southern Entertainment Awards nomination for Best Industry Event Service. Despite having gone through various hardships, Shawney’s music has become an inspiration to many. Her upcoming EP is sure to be a powerful and emotive showcase of her strength, versatility and resilience. ‘Alter Ego’ is the perfect accompaniment to the turbulent times of today, and a testament to Shawney Rainne’s ability to transcend hardship into artistry. So, mark your calendars – Shawney Rainne’s must-hear project is just around the corner.
