Her new single, “Run,” is a motivation to everyone who needs encouragement to be themselves and believe in their dreams.
“It’s like running toward your goal,” Shannon shares. “I feel like in the past I had been afraid of putting my true self out there. I was told to not dream big, to try and fit in to look alike, to change my style so I can be accepted by the people.”
The India-born, UK-raised singer’s new visual is sure to be a huge hit, considering her first music video “I Do” racked up over seventeen million views on YouTube since its release in March.
As the daughter of Bollywood music legend Kumar Sanu, Shannon grew up in a musical family where she first performed on stage at 4 years old. Her dreams of becoming an international pop star began to transform into reality after moving to the United States, allowing her to explore endless possibilities.
Whether she’s standing on a mountaintop overlooking her city, or singing her enchanting voice in the rain, or dancing in her ethnic dress, Shannon radiates confidence in every scene.
“Over the years I realized that my uniqueness is my diversity. Being a person of color, I wanted to show my roots but also show the culture of the country I‘m based. That’s where I found my confidence. Be you and dream BIG!”
She will never doubt herself again.
The official music video for “Run” premiered September 18 on YouTube. “Run” is now streaming on all music services.
