Burn

Liahona is a new fresh face to the entertainment business and upcoming pop diva in the world. She is a uniquely talented artist who can perform opera one day, r&b and rap the next. Liahona was born in Newark, Delaware, by her parents Dawn and PJ Shafferman. Liahona has 6 brothers and 1 sister. She comes from a close-knit family of talented artists who play all genres of music from hip-hop, bluegrass, soul, with everyone in her family equally engaged in singing and dancing. 
Liahona has been belting tunes out since she was 8 years old. Even as a  2-year-old, she was touched by the spirit of music;  as her mom started playing  beautiful church hymns throughout the home on Sunday morning.  Liahona would immediately start to cry almost like she recognized the beauty, power, and essence of music, something a little unusual from her siblings. 
Soon after, Liahona began competing in beauty pageants at the age of 12 years old, which also held talent competitions around the State of Delaware area. She won her first competition and wowed an audience singing  “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele.  After winning her first competition, the momentum kept going as she won several first-place talent prizes everywhere she performed including the Delaware State Fair in 2016.  In 2016 through 2017,  Liahona cut the records “ Burn” written by her brother PJ Jr and  “ Standing Alone” which is a groundbreaking record expressing the feelings of surviving sexual assault, in  which both Liahona and her sister fell victim to.  This record was also written by her brother. “Standing Alone” is a very unique product with a message representative of the #metoo movement happening in the entertainment, media and political spaces. In 2017,  Liahona and her manager Dawn Perry-Schafferman, was introduced to Danny “Ace “Valentine by a close acquaintance of his in the state of Delaware. Danny immediately took a liking to Liahonas sound, her presence, and confident swagger.  
Danny “ Ace” Valentine is an executive producer, writer, entrepreneur, and director with over 17 years of experience in show business. Danny is the founder and chairman of 47th & 7th Media, an entertainment firm specializing in music, film, tv, branding, marketing, and fashion properties around the globe. Danny started 47th & 7th in 2015 and released the song “Motivate” with iconic superstar Snoop Dogg and Lexz Pryde. “ Motivate” featured on MTV and was distributed through Empire Distribution.   47th & 7th derived from the old Unique Studios in Time Square on 47th and 7th Ave. Unique Studios was an iconic recording studio founded in the early 80’s through the 90’s where superstars Madonna, Kanye West, Jay Z, Sean “ Diddy “ Combs, Wu-tang Clan and the Rolling Stones all recorded albums.
