Since 2013, Shawna has combined forces with Italian DJ/producer Tooker as the group KMLN (pronounced “chameleon”), known for their coveted hybrid/live performance that pioneered the organic house sound thriving today. The duo’s releases on major labels like Sol Selectas, Crosstown Rebels, Ouïe, Touch of Class, and Bar 25, have received support from artists such as Solomun, Acid Pauli, Damian Lazarus, &ME, Rampa, David Meyer, and Bedouin. Additionally, they have collaborated with the likes of Mira, Christopher Schwarzwalder, Nico Stojan, NU, Sabo, Viken Arman, Francesca Lombardo, and Eduardo de La Calle. Recently, Shawna and Tooker have also been reinventing their solo projects and exploring other collaborations. Always cross-pollinating through various scenes around the globe and pioneering the cutting-edge sounds of the future, Shawna has proven herself as a multi-faceted artist that has left her mark and continues to push boundaries.
