Shon Abram is a multifaceted international entertainer from Hollywood, California—a true triple threat who excels in singing, songwriting, and acting. He refined his craft at Dellos Performing Arts School, the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, and Berklee College of Music.

His performance career began early, with notable roles including a Lost Boy in Hook, directed by Steven Spielberg, and his first leading role in The Key, alongside Gedeon Burkhard and Sven Martinek. Over the years, Shon has appeared in a wide range of productions and performances, from L.A. Opera’s Journey to Córdoba to Fritz Radio’s “Unsigned” showcase and Glastonbury Festival’s Elemental Tent. More recently, he performed in front of 30,000 people at Berlin’s “Stop Right-Wing Extremism” demonstration at the Siegessäule, sharing the stage with Frank Dellé of Seeed.

Shon has also performed alongside major international artists including Helene Fischer, Luis Fonsi at the Echo Awards, Imagine Dragons on Circus HalliGalli, hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari, Emeli Sandé, and Sarah Connor. His musical range spans musical theatre, opera, jazz, gospel, soul, and pop, taking him to stages around the world in countries including Russia, South Africa, Namibia, Slovakia, Poland, and Mexico.

In addition to his performance career, Shon has performed for the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, U.S. consulates across the country, and Germany’s Minister of Culture. As a dedicated music educator and creative practitioner, he served as Head of Band Performance at BIMM Berlin and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning as well as a Master of Arts in Music Entrepreneurship.

Shon is currently pursuing a PhD in Expressive Arts Therapy at the European Graduate School in Switzerland, with his research focusing on Intermodal Performance Arts Practice (IPAP) and the intersection of performance, creativity, and therapeutic practice. His doctoral work builds upon his extensive experience as a performer, educator, and creative practitioner, exploring the transformative potential of the arts as a means of expression, connection, and personal development.

After overcoming injuries sustained in a racist attack in 2017, Shon is re-emerging in his solo career, continuing to share his artistry, resilience, and passion through music, performance, expressive arts, and coaching.
