SHAUNTAII completed in 1997, Certificates II and III Contemporary Music at EORA Centre where along with other Indigenous students she formed and sang in a band called Wagan. During this time SHAUNTAII acquired the taste of recording by laying down demos with producer Andro Martinez. In 1998, SHAUNTAII was cast in the multi-award-winning musical, Jimmy Chi’s ‘Corrugation Road’, which toured nationally. The 1999, SHAUNTAII played the lead role in the musical, ‘Follow Your Dream’, for a six-week season in Sydney. That same year she also took part in the NAISDA production Camouflage, a showcase of new Indigenous Artists, held at the Sydney Opera House. From 2000 - 2005 SHAUNTAII played an integral role in the music department of her church and sang regularly at National and local Christian events. In November 2006 SHAUNTAII launched her own original EP. Her style of Soul that is truly Inspirational- an exotic fabric of Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, a hint of Gospel, with a whole lot of Soul. From January to April 2007 her self titled EP ‘SHAUNTAII’ was at the top of the charts at ‘www.mp3.com.au’. SHAUNTAII’s music has broad appeal, not only here, but also all over the world.

“Many who have heard SHAUNTAII have described her voice as ‘soothing yet powerful’ and ‘a voice that warms the soul’. The freedom in her musical expression is the reflection of her heart and soul as SHAUNTAII writes and co-produces her own music. SHAUNTAII’s great vocal ability mixed with her love of a wide range of music styles from Jazz, Gospel, R&B and HIP HOP, gives her a unique sound that is distinctly SHAUNTAII. Keep your senses primed and ready to experience the sweet and enchanting voice of SHAUNTAII.” Sev Waqatairewa – FYI, Fiji Youth Initiative To hear more of SHAUNTAII tune into Koori Radio 93.7FM or go to: www.myspace.com/shauntaii

Thank you for being our friends here on “myspace/facebook” but more importantly at S4G (Soul4GIVE) we would like for you to please consider this invitation carefully, to join the “cause” S4G! Wether you are Australian or not, living here or overseas the fact that you are part of the human race is what’s important! When we honestly examine our deepest feelings, we realize our perception and that if we want to change the situation, we first have to change ourselves. And to change ourselves effectively, we first have to change our perceptions.
• Indigenous Australia IS 3% (or 600,000) of the 21 Million people in Australia! • 60% of the total prison population nationwide ARE Indigenous! (in NSW its higher!) • Average life expectancy of an Indigenous male is 59 years! (2006) • Average life expectancy of an Indigenous woman is 65 years! (2006)
This is for all who love this great country of ours, and those of us who are struggling under the weight of societies great expectations.
In order to free ourselves from the pain of anger and resentment we all need to be able to forgive our self and others. The longer we dwell on hurtful situations from the past, the longer we keep our self from living fully in the present. Forgiveness is an act of kindness to all. An act of kindness to your self, as it leads to a sense of personal freedom.
We must look AT the lens through which we see the world, as well as at the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.
When we honestly examine our deepest feelings, we realize our perception and that if we want to change the situation, we first have to change ourselves. And to change ourselves effectively, we first have to change our perceptions.
It’s a simple message forgotten in a fast paced and dare I say it a cold high tech world? Please, Click on Soul4GIVE “causes” on my page AND tell/recruit ALL your friends!
Always 4give with LOVE, it is miraculously healthy.
