In our latest “Allow Me to Introduce Myself” series, we’re spotlighting Shantel May, a rising talent straight out of Scarborough who’s making waves beyond her roots as a backup vocalist for DVSN, the acclaimed R&B duo from Drake’s OVO Sound label.

This video capture reveals Shantel’s magnetic personality—her wit, her street-smart charm, and the soulful vocal prowess that’s quickly setting her apart in Toronto’s competitive music scene. From backing vocals to center stage, May embodies the raw authenticity of an artist on the brink of a breakthrough.

Our cameras caught her in her element, sharing candid moments that showcase not just her musical journey, but her vibrant spirit. It’s more than a profile—it’s an intimate look at an emerging artist whose roots and resilience shine through every frame.

Scarborough’s own is stepping up, and trust me, you’ll want to say you knew her name first.
