This is the first of a two-part episode featuring Shauna L. Howard aka Cycle Bae. Shauna is a Los Angeles-based vocalist, voice coach, educator, and creative entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in the performing arts and education sectors. Known for her dynamic blend of artistry and wellness, Shauna specializes in helping singers and creatives build confidence, endurance, and resilience with and without an audience, both on and off the stage.

During the pandemic, Shauna found a transformative outlet in cycling, which deeply supported her emotional health and influenced her approach to vocal coaching and performing. As an endurance athlete and a member of multiple cycling clubs throughout the world, she brings the discipline, stamina, and focus she gained on the bike into her work as a musician and educator. In 2021, she was awarded "Most Improved Female Cyclist" by Velo LaGrange.

Whether coaching students, performing on stage, or leading creative ventures, Shauna is committed to fostering holistic health, wellness, and transformation through the arts. She lives in Hollywood and enjoys studying, salsa dancing, cooking, house music, exploring new cycling routes in Southern California, and being a dog auntie!
