Eric Mosca
Shawn is a patient and dedicated leader who openly shares his passion for music with his students and anyone who will listen. Over the years that I have studied with Shawn he has continued to refine his skills for communication and motivating those he plays with. Shawn has no problem transitioning between teacher, entertainer and friend. He is great and looks like a certain celebrity.

I arrange and compose music for Leana Song, run the rehearsals and rock the shows. We have a great record released last August : "Orisha Love Songs Vol.1" Which took countless hours and the blood and sweat of every person in the ensemble. We are always performing new material so the work never stops. It's a labor of LOVE. I arrange and compose music for Leana Song, run the rehearsals and rock the shows.
