Shanelle Brown (born, 1983) aka Chinkie Brown is an American singer/songwriter.

2001 - 2006: The Beginning of a Music Career
Shanelle Brown is the daughter of two pastors, and although she was raised in the church, she never sang in the choir. In fact, Shanelle aka Chinkie Brown’s first experience singing was done while hanging out on Baltimore's Federal Hill as a teenager. There she started writing songs and singing; soon she realized it was something I wanted to do, and although her parents didn't support her goal to become a professional singer, she was determined to reach for her dream.

In 2003, Chinkie dropped out of college at Morgan State University to focus on a career in singing and song writing. She left her home in Baltimore and moved to Atlanta to pursue a career in the arts, she invested $100 into two hours of studio time and recorded a demo. Her demo was ultimately passed to Kevin Clark, owner of a high profile recording studio in Atlanta.

2007 - 2010: Gaining Experience in the Music Business
Chinkie Brown signs with S-Line Entertainment in March 2007 and quickly began to learn her way around the studio. Getting opportunity to work with Kevin Clark and his industry connections proved to be rewarding for Chinkie, who listen to and recorded on new tracks daily. Impressed with Chinkie’s raw talent, he began to book shows for her all around Atlanta; building a fan base and getting recognized as an undeniable rising talent.

In January 2008, Chinkie Brown signs a development deal with Warner Brother Records. While with Warner Brothers, Chinkie worked to strengthen her vocals and dance moves to become a performer with multiple talents.

“Wonderland” is featured on her mixed CD - “Under The Influence of Ms. Brown” hosted by Dj Don Cannon. Chinkie’s first single perfectly demonstrates her bending styles, the wailing guitar rifts weaves its way through her rhythmic tales of young love. “Under the Influence of Ms. Brown” is a great reflection of her enormous versatility of hip-hop and R&B, topped with her rambunctious spirit.
