Raised in Oakland, CA, Shawn William is

word group Fiveology, which toured with Jill Scott
and made several appearances on Verses and Flow
(TVOne).
For the past two years, Shawn has pushed his
artistic brand by creating thought-provoking
content on numerous social media outlets and
receiving over 15 million views and 4 million re-

and uses his talents to inspire and elevate his
surrounding community.

“My talents are a blessing, dreams that wake me up in the middle of the night to create visual and verbal artistry. If I cannot spark dialogue and make people feel something, then
why should I waste their time and my talent?”
