A budding singer, songwriter from High Wycombe had one of her songs played on ITV’s This Morning.

Shannon Marie, 20, sent the producers a 30-second snippet of her song Better Off Without You and within two weeks was listening to it on TV.

This Morning played her song during a fashion feature on Tuesday, February 23, with a special shout out to the singer from Philip Schofield,

She says: “I just entered because I thought it would be a fun opportunity but I never thought I would win, I feel honoured.”

Shannon went to the Jackie Palmer Stage School for 15 years before starting her BA (Hons) Musical Theatre at the Bucks New University, she is currently in her final year.

She says: “I’ve done a lot more writing since stating university, a lot of my songs are based on real life experiences.

“When I finish university I’m looking at get an act together with my own songs and songs from the 50s and 60s made more current.”

Shannon released a Christmas song on iTunes in December last year called Tears This Christmas and she is currently working on a five track EP.
