The Beginning

A vocal injury unexpectedly led her to the drums — and ignited a lifelong passion for rhythm, resilience, and reinvention.
About
Faith, femininity,
and fire.
Shauney Recke is a world-class drummer, author, and speaker whose rhythm has carried her from the stages of global tours to the heart of transformative conversations about courage, creativity, and purpose.
As a trailblazing female drummer who has performed with major artists including Sting, Hilary Duff, Pussycat Dolls, Will.I.Am, Ricky Martin and The Keenen Ivory Wayans show band, Shauney broke barriers in an industry often dominated by men.
