The Multi-Hyphenate Visionary Shaping Art, Music, and Healing
Dr. Shariee Jones is a rare force—a creative visionary who refuses to be confined by a single title. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, she has built a career that seamlessly blends music, fashion, literature, and trauma counseling. As a singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, producer, and author, Dr. Jones has worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry while also forging a path in mental health and wellness. Through her work, she has mastered the ability to turn personal pain into purpose, proving that creativity is a powerful tool for healing and transformation.

A Childhood Immersed in Music
For Dr. Jones, music was never just background noise—it was a lifeline. Raised in a home where her grandfather played blues, R&B, and rap records at full volume, she absorbed the melodies and rhythms that would later shape her own musical journey. "I didn’t understand why he played music so loud at the time," she recalls. "But now, as a trauma doctor, I realize that it was his therapy—his way of soothing intrusive thoughts from his time in the military." Those early experiences laid the foundation for her deep connection to music, eventually leading her to songwriting at age sixteen under the guidance of her aunt Carolyn.
Breaking into the Music Industry on Her Own Terms
Dr. Jones’s journey into the music industry took an unconventional path. Rather than signing with a major label, she chose independence. "Prince mentored me and told me that freedom was being independent," she says. That advice led her to work in music promotions, shaping careers and building industry relationships through marketing partnerships with Universal Records, Interscope, and MTVU. She played a role in getting major artists' music to the public while continuing to hone her craft as a songwriter and performer.
Her collaborations have been legendary—working on marketing teams for Kanye West’s KanyeUniverseCity.com campaign and Marvel’s Black Panther promotions, among others. Despite her industry success, Dr. Jones remains deeply committed to creating music that is authentic, powerful, and spiritually driven.
A Unique Blend of Music, Fashion, and Therapy
Dr. Jones’s creative expression is not limited to music. She is also a fashion designer and the founder of Divine Army, a clothing and wellness brand that merges style with purpose. Drawing inspiration from her favorite artists—Aaliyah, Prince, and Jill Scott—her aesthetic is both soulful and boundary-pushing.
Beyond fashion and music, Dr. Jones has also built a career in journalism, trauma counseling, and music therapy. She specializes in working with patients dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using music as a therapeutic tool to aid in emotional healing. Her experience working with military personnel and crisis response teams at various military and veteran support programs shaped her approach, reinforcing the power of music to provide solace and emotional release. "Music is universal—it helps people process what they can’t put into words," she explains.

Literary Work and the Power of Storytelling
Dr. Jones’s storytelling extends beyond songwriting. She has written children's books, poetry collections, and even published an easy-read Bible, reflecting her deep connection to spirituality and history. Currently, she is working on a memoir about her relationship with musician Raphael Saadiq, a deeply personal project reflecting on their creative and personal connection, set to release this year.
"I’ve always been a writer, whether it’s books, poetry, or songs," she says. "Writing allows me to explore my truth and inspire others to do the same."
A Legacy of Healing and Transformation
Through her extensive career, Dr. Jones has leveraged creativity as a powerful tool for transformation, advocacy, and healing. Whether through fashion, music, or mental health advocacy, her work is a testament to the resilience of Black women who turn struggle into triumph.
Her album Revelations, available on all digital platforms, is a musical call to action—encouraging listeners to awaken, reflect, and heal. She also serves as a Federal Crisis & Emergency Risk Communication Specialist, aiding communities during natural disasters and traumatic events, in addition to her advocacy for holistic wellness, offering vitamin supplements to promote mental and physical health through her Divine Army brand.

Advice for Aspiring Creatives
Dr. Jones offers a powerful message to those navigating trauma while pursuing their artistic dreams: "The only true success comes when you let go of past pain and allow God to guide your path. Use your creative gift as a way to heal, not just for yourself, but for others."
With a career that bridges multiple industries, Dr. Shariee Jones is the definition of a modern Renaissance woman. Her work will continue to inspire generations to come, proving that art, music, and healing are all connected.
