Her second single from her debut album “Battle Cry” was featured on the official Obama Campaign Compilation: Yes We Can.

Shontelle has been featured in such outlets as Elle, Marie Claire, Seventeen, OK!, Vibe, Billboard and the UK Sunday Times as a cover star. She has also collaborated with some of the biggest names in the business. Wether opening for Beyonce during her UK tour or exchanging vocals with Akon on the Disney inspired track “Stuck with Each Other” for the acclaimed Confessions of A Shopaholic soundtrack, Shontelle sets no boundaries.
