Shonn Hinton is a product of Milwaukee’s under-rated diverse, fertile, underground community of singers, musicians, and songwriters. Shonn’s distinct signature sound has enhanced significantly in the past few years. His diversified sound has been compared to the smooth, melodic sound of Eric Clapton—in addition, he also has the intensified electric sound of Jimmy Hendrix and Freddie King—all of which are major influences in his career. Shonn has been performing in the Milwaukee scene for over a decade now. Born into a family of musicians (father is guitarist and mother is organist/singer), Shonn began to play the guitar at the tender age of 12. He’s built up a solid foundation in this city, while developing his unique playing style with elements of classic R&B, blues, jazz, pop, rock, and hip-hop.
