"We Walk Together" Review Quote: "Overall, great track, much like what I would expect from Shauni who, in my honest opinion, has the sound of a star that truly belongs in this business. You hear her voice and it just sounds like someone who should be famous in this business. And, through spending the kind of time that she does recording, seeking comments and evaluations like now, etc., she will get her career there because she has the right kind of desire and determination that is essential to grow and succeed in business, especially this one." Christopher Ewing Indie Music Channel

"We Walk Together" Review Quote: "The song has a cool sound and message! As is the case with many of the songs that I have heard by Shauni, this song has wonderful lyrics and a great message. People are looking for things that lift them up, especially nowadays, and music and songs are one of the first sources that people go to for an immediate “pick me up”. This song has the potential to fill its listener with hope, encouragement, anticipation towards the future, etc. That is something that not every song does, and something that only very special songs truly do."

“Reviews “Wow guitarist is realy impressive, at the begining I tough it was good old scorpions the sound is realy amazing. Recording is for something but still lead guitarist is talented very talented! Lead singers voice is great too, her voice is inspirating and lovely it flows into the ears realy well and it is enjoyable. Mixing is great the way her voice is blending with the sound of the guitars it is just unbelevable. Drummer is great and talented too. Lyrics are great not too complex and not repetitive just enough to make it easy to remember and they want us to sing it along... Well overall I would say the song is enjoyable, well accomplished and most of it entertaining. 10/10” “Perfect intro melody, it sounds so wonderful. When more beat is added, things just get better. The rhythm in this song is simply amazing. This singer has a great voice and is putting it to good use. The vocals really go with the melody, really complimenting each other. The vocals aren't too loud”

“From the archives of January 1986 "Shauni Greenlaw - using her talents for others" "Someone once said that adolescence is like a house on moving day—a temporary mess. But whoever that was, he surely hadn't met 17-year-old Shauni Greenlaw. Here is one teenager whose house is definitely in order. Hailing from Red Bluff, California, Shauni Greenlaw is the 1985 Miss California Teenager. Her reign began last May when she was chosen from among 85 contestants to represent her home state at the Miss National Teenager pageant in Atlanta. And though she didn't take the top national honor, she did win the talent portion of the competition for her musical skill." Click on the url to read the rest of the article.”

" 'Wake To Grace' - an Album by EHM Eleventhhourmessengers to inspire and spur your personal relationship with Jesus Christ! Its foundations were etched in years of learning and growing in a new understanding of what this really means. From the quite country road of 2nd Avenue in a small town called Los Molinos, California, passersby could hear gospel music coming from a then tiny 8 year old girl, fingers racing across the keyboard in a whirlwind of power and grace, practicing for the next family concert! Shauni Williams, now married 23 years to lyricist, vocalist, and theologian, and ex-Analyst, Grant Williams, and mother of two adult children, Ryan and Erica, was the second to youngest of four kids and daughter of Ron and Shandra. Together, this six pack made an impact for God as The Ron Greenlaw Family Gospel music ministry in the 70‘s and 80‘s."

“Grant & Shauni Williams Looking Forward to 2011 To Shauni Williams, music is like breathing. From the time she saw her first gospel concert at age five, she was inspired to pursue piano and singing. Growing up in a musical family, she had a unique childhood experience of being in gospel music ministry from age six to sixteen with her parents and three siblings. God did amazing things in her life, giving her a gift of piano which came shortly after her Grandmother passed away. Shauni was only eight when she took on the responsibilities as the primary accompanist for The Ron Greenlaw Family Gospel Music Ministry, along with her two talented sisters who also play piano. It was during these early music years that Shauni began to write music. Together, the family of six recorded two albums. ”
