Shana (born Shana Petrone, 8 May 1972, Park Ridge, Illinois) was raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida[1] and is an American singer.

Shana released an album in 1989 entitled I Want You on Vision Records, which peaked at #165 on the Billboard Top 200.[2] The album yielded two U.S. hit singles in 1990, "I Want You" (Billboard Hot 100 peak #40) and "You Can't Get Away" (Hot 100 peak #82).[3]

After her successes with dance music, Shana disappeared from the mainstream music scene. She reappeared as a country music singer under her full given name, and released two singles with Sony Records, "Heaven Bound" in 1998 and "This Time" in 1999. "Heaven Bound" was a hit on CMT and reached #60 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[4] She is still recording country music but is no longer signed to a major record label.

Shana's country music album on Sony Records was never released. Her third single on Country Radio was "Something Real" which, also, had a music video.
