Charismatic, ambitious and hard working are synonymous with Shanté Paige. Since graduating from Howard University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Management and minor in Pre-Law, Shanté Paige has been an active member of the entertainment industry and a member of the P.G.A. Her experience encompasses a wide range of music and entertainment accomplishments. As Acting Senior Vice-President of A&R for the Universal/Motown Records Group, she was responsible for controlling multi-million dollar budgets. Additionally, she was Executive Producer and handled the production of Hip Hop and R&B headliners such as 702, Dave Hollister, KEM, Chico Debarge, India Arie, Erykah Badu, Cash Money Millionaires, The Temptations, and Joe. During her tenure at Motown, these artists collectively sold more than 65 million albums worldwide, putting Motown in the black after a decade of losses. Although quite an accomplishment, Shanté's climb up the music ladder started during her college days, where she promoted some of the biggest celebrity-driven events and managed an R&B group, Quattro, who boasted heartthrob actor, Michael Ealy, as a member. In addition, a female group with a young Egypt Sherrod of HGTV's Married to Real estate.

Upon graduating, Shanté moved to New York City where she continued building a name for herself co-founding an urban lifestyle marketing company Net2 and hosting celebrity-studded events.

Blige, Joe, Ciara, Destiny's Child and a host of others.

Shanté's steady stream of accomplishments caught the attention of Kedar Massenburg, CEO of Kedar Entertainment and President of Universal/Motown Records Group. Kedar hired her as Director of A&R for Kedar Entertainment and during her six-year tenure she would eventually take on the title of Acting Senior Vice President of A&R for the Universal/Motown Records Group. Shanté eventually left Universal/Motown to start her own consulting firm specializing in an array of clients from music to media and sports entertainment. Paige has consulted for clients such as Noontime Music (producers Bryan Michael-Cox and Jazzy Pha) and Mauldin Brand Agency (Scream Tour, Bow Wow and Wyclef Jean). Shanté was awarded the 2010 Census Campaign where she produced webisodes featuring Ludacris to promote census participation with the inclusion of celebrities like Patti Labelle, Lance Armstrong, Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons with NUVO sparkling vodka.

To add to her long list of accomplishments, Shanté transitioned to TV and film producing several projects for TNT, Peachtree TV, TBS, BET, Centric, Aspire, MyATL, WXIA, UMC, NBA TV, Revolt, TVONE, ESPN, VH-1, UMC, WETv. ALLBlack and Fuse.
