Shaznay Tricia Lewis (born October 14, 1975 in Islington, London) is an English female singer/songwriter. Shaznay is 1. 70m (5’ 7”), and has Bajan and Jamaican roots.
Shaznay is generally regarded as the chief talent behind the popular girl group All Saints.
Her musical influences include Rap and Missy Elliott; In addition, she grew up listening to Bob Marley and Johnny Mathis. It was the music of Alanis Morissette who encouraged Shaznay to take her music one step further.
Singing came naturally to Shaznay who had been entering singing contests since the age of thirteen. At a party she was introduced to Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot of Curiosity Killed the Cat by her friends who took her to the Metamorphisis recording studios on All Saints Road, London and started doing backing vocals.
It was at the Metamorphisis recording studios where Shaznay met Melanie Blatt in 1993 and proceeded to record together. Together with Simone Rainford they formed the band All Saints 1.9.7.5 which was later renamed to All Saints when Simone left and Nicole and Natalie Appleton joined Melanie and Shaznay.
Shaznay has been the most active songwriter of the All Saints and was responsible for writing most of the songs including many hits. In 2001 Shaznay won the Ivor Novello Award for best songwriting. After the group broke up, Shaznay was the last All Saint to pursue a solo career, releasing her debut single “Never Felt Like This Before” in July 2004.

Can't believe she has such a small amount of listeners. Her album is pretty good. AND she co-wrote "Distractions" for CocknBullKid's debut which came out in May. Such a great song!
