Shon Davis has spent several years gracing stages with the legendary Plunky & Oneness, bringing a powerhouse voice that blends raw soul with timeless elegance. Like so many great soul singers, her journey began in the Black Southern church, where her family’s deep roots in ministry nurtured her gift. Her sound carries the richness of Aretha Franklin, the fire of Chaka Khan, and the spirit of the great soul singers of the ’70s. Whether delivering soaring ballads or high-energy grooves, Shon captivates audiences with a voice that is both deeply moving and undeniably classic.
