Mary J Blige is Shantel's Idol and she wanted to go to the concert so bad. The competition on the radio stated the person who could sing Mary J Blige's song "A Dream" could win front row tickets to her concert. Shantel called the station and sung Mary J Blige's "A Dream" like Mary J Blige was listening on the other line and blew everyone away. 

Ever since her first outbreak with the radio station they helped her get gigs for local bands and openings for venues. People around the triad found out about this spectatular talent churches, mass choirs, and others wanted her to be a part of them. And as much as Shantel loves Gospel music she would not turn anyone down she would sing for as many churches, choirs, and etc as she can.
