Shana Petrone (born May 8, 1972, Park Ridge, Illinois) is an American singer of country, freestyle, and dance music.

Background[edit]

Petrone was raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[1]

In 1989, Petrone released the album I Want You on Vision Records, which peaked at No. 165 on the Billboard Top 200.[2] The album yielded two charting singles in the U.S. in 1990, "I Want You" (Billboard Hot 100 peak No. 40) and "You Can't Get Away" (Hot 100 peak No. 82).[3][4] During this time, she was mononymously known as Shana.

Following these releases, Petrone did not release any more material until 1998, when she reappeared as a country music singer under her full given name and signed with Epic Nashville. In 1998, she released the single "Heaven Bound" which peaked at No. 60 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[citation needed] In 1999, Petrone released the singles "This Time" and "Something Real". A full country music album on Epic Nashville was never released.
