SHANORA HAS BEEN WRITING MUSIC HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY HER OWN LIFE SINCE CHILDHOOD. SHANORA IS NAMED AFTER HER GRANDMOTHER, ORA, WHOSE DJ NAME WAS "DJ SHANORA". HER FIRST MUSICAL INFLUENCES AS A KID WERE THE TEMPTATIONS, JANET JACKSON, BONE THUGS N HARMONY,AND PRINCE. SHANORA ALSO LOVED BOB MARLEY, SELENA, MAXWELL, AND ANYTHING MADE BY JIMMY JAM & TERRY LEWIS, RAPHAEL SAADIQ, AND TEDDY RILEY. HOUSE MUSIC, ALTERNATIVE AND ROCK ALSO BEGAN TO SHAPE HER WAY OF LISTENING TO AND COMPOSING SOUNDS OF HER OWN LATER IN HER TEENAGE YEARS. BORN AND (MOSTLY) RAISED IN LANSING MICHIGAN, SHANORA MOVED AROUND A LOT AS AN ADOLESCENT. SHE LIVED IN LANSING, JACKSON, AND NOVI MI AS WELL AS TENNESSEE, MISSISSIPPI, AND OKLAHOMA ALL BY THE AGE OF 18. EACH OF THESE PLACES GAVE HER PLENTY TO WRITE ABOUT AND THOSE EXPERIENCES BUILT HER INTO WHO SHE IS TODAY MUSICALLY AND PERSONALLY. AFTER LEAVING LOS ANGELES TO MOVE TO DETROIT AT THE END OF 2022, SHANORA KNEW THAT NOW WAS THE TIME TO BEGIN HER FIRST FULL PROJECT.
SHANORA'S FIRST EP "ART GALLERY FOUR (4)" IS A THINK PIECE FULL OF ADVENTURE AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. IT IS A JOURNEY INTO THE FIRST REALM OF WHAT SHE LIKES TO CALL HER 4TH LIFE. "IT'S A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.. IT COMFORTED AND HEALED A PART OF ME SYNONYMOUSLY. ITS THE BEGINNING OF THE LIFE I'VE ALWAYS SEEN FOR MYSELF. I JUST STARTED, AND NOW I CANT STOP. GOD WONT ALLOW IT"
