Shonie V Music Group was established in December of 2025 by Shonie Venise Taylor as a creative platform to showcase her songwriting and artistic vision through a collection of music demos. The group exists to highlight her writing abilities, with all concepts, lyrics, arrangements, and creative direction fully created and inspired by Shonie V. Vocals within recorded demos are produced using AI technology, while Shonie V performs her music live exclusively in person. The group’s debut album, Wood Grain, is scheduled for release on January 1, 2026, marking the first official body of work under Shonie V Music Group.

Wood Grain is more than an album title. It is a reflection of who Shonie V is and how her life has been formed over time. Wood grain represents the natural pattern created by growth, pressure, seasons, and survival. Just like a tree, every year leaves a ring, every experience leaves a mark, and nothing is random. Some parts of life follow a straight grain, steady, aligned, and easier to move through. Other seasons form wavy, spiral, or irregular patterns shaped by struggle, resistance, and unexpected turns. Those moments may feel harder to work with, but they are often the most beautiful and meaningful. Shonie V’s story carries open places that absorbed pain deeply, closed places that protected her softness, and end grain moments that reveal what was happening beneath the surface when no one else could see it. This album honors the truth that strength is built by growing in your natural direction, not by forcing yourself to be smooth or uniform. Wood Grain is about being shaped without being broken, marked without being ruined, and standing rooted in authenticity, carrying every line as proof of growth, endurance, and purpose. Hailing her greatest body of work, Shonie V shows complete vulnerability in her triumphs and her failures in every lyric.
