Bastille: Happier (2018), which received a 2019 MTV Video Music Awards (2019) nomination. Shon's most notable feature film role is in the theatrically released Blood Done Sign My Name (2010), starring Nate Parker and Ricky Schroder, as the O.R. nurse who operates on fatally-wounded Henry "Dickie" Morrow. Wilson is most commonly seen playing smart and capable characters. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Shon spent most of her childhood in Charleston, South Carolina. Unwilling to choose between her love of singing, acting and dancing, she obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Musical Theatre. However, during her four years at Washington, DC's American University, she gravitated more towards roles in contemporary comedies and classical dramas. After graduating from college, Shon went right to work as a professional actress in North Carolina. There she earned contracts with the Actors Theatre of Charlotte, the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival, Epic Arts Repertory Theatre, The Children's Theatre of Charlotte and other regional companies. Her professional stage roles have included Juliet, Ophelia and Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's plays, as well as the female leads in Man from Nebraska by Tracy Letts and Sylvia by A.R. Gurney, Jr. In addition to receiving several awards and nominations for her stage performances, Shon has also developed a prolific body of work in film and video. She has starred in many independent films and acted in multiple industrials for Bank of America, as well as industrials for The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Groundlings School, Lowe's Home Improvement and other internationally known brands. Now living in Los Angeles, Shon's film and TV career is thriving. She also loves to belt pop tunes at karaoke whenever she gets a chance and takes ballet classes at the Los Angeles Ballet Academy.
