“Reality is wrong. Dreams are real”
The best means of artistic expression usually come without form or mold. They often take the shape of what eyes haven't seen before. In many ways, She-unO believes this is a representation of himself. Growing up in PG County Maryland, he never quite fit in one category. Excelling academically in school but also being intrigued by the creativity and expression of rap, he began penning raps for class presentations around fifth grade. Often lacking production, he continued writing and performing pieces that many began to label spoken word or poetry. His appreciation for captivating a crowd with nothing but the power of his words/delivery continued to grow throughout his college years, while attending Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
His prowess for performing continued to grow as well, eventually leading to winning multiple talent contests. These experiences allowed him to open up for various artists over the years.
Even through attaining multiple degrees and corporate jobs, he's always held the same dream of using his voice for impact. In 2017 he released his debut, official EP Invincible Summer. His latest project (T)here released in March 2024 is rooted in the human experience, defined by the tension between present struggles and desiring to be in a presumed ideal future. He invites you to join him on this journey.
