SHONN HINTON & SHOTGUN
Raymond S. Hinton is a product of Milwaukee’s under-rated diverse, fertile, underground community of artists, musicians, and songwriters.

• Jive Recording Artist: Angie Stone
• Def Jam Recording Artist – 112
• Geffen Recording Artist: Avant
• Def Jam Recording Artist: Kelly Price
• Jive Recording Artist: Syleena Johnson
• Epic Recording Artist: Glenn Lewis
• Columbia Recording Artist: Michelle Williams (from group Destiny’s Child)
• Blackberry Recording Artist: The Williams Brothers
• Motown Recording Artist: Dave Hollister
He is currently on staff with John Legend and Jill Scott as their guitarist. In March of 2006, Raymond was appointed Music Director for Mary J. Blige. Currently, and when not touring, Raymond plays for various local artists and is currently embarking upon leading his very own contemporary jazz band.
…And the list doesn’t stop there. Raymond is a phenomenal drummer, bassist, song producer, and studio musician. He has unlimited talents and his unique sound will always keep you guessing…yet yearning for more.
