We had the good fortune of connecting with Shane Q and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shane, why did you pursue a creative career?
Ive spent many years, not happy about working a regular job, not doing all I can to make sure i follow my dreams. When the pandemic hit, i was let go, and i couldn’t even perform because all the venues were closed. I definitely had a lot of thinking time, so when California opened up and the closures ended, I decided to attempt performing full time and right off the bat I was getting gigs and bookings like crazy, its been consistent for over a year now and I couldn’t be any happier! I love what I do!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a singer, and my style is very unique. Ive been told i stand out . Some would consider me a power house vocalist. Ive been singing and performing locally in Sacramento California for many years and I never thought Id end up being a contestant on season 17 of NBC’s The Voice, It was a dream. And i was able to grow my fanbase globally and the amount of exposure is incredible! Since my time on The Voice in 2019, I had a whole pandemic to think and write songs and start projects. I am excited to announce that on August 5th I will be releasing my first Single titled “Off My Mind” It was a collaboration between myself and a good friend Timothy Brown. It will be streamed on all platforms. I plan to announce more projects and releases in the near future so keep a look out!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Sacramento California is not the biggest city but it definitely has some gems! I would have to take them to “old sacramento” along the waterfront, historical sacramento with cobble stone roads and wooden plank sidewalks. Alot of history and amazing eats. Could literally stay there all day.
