“Shani is a valuable resource for Dameron Communications in casting talented local performers for commercials, dances, original songwriting, creating music, jingles, and delivering exciting performers for events, galas, and beyond,” said Carl M. Dameron, Dameron Communications president.

SAN BERNARDINO, CA — Shani Hamilton Thillet, a versatile and accomplished performer, joins Dameron Communications as a key resource in casting talented local performers for commercials, dance, original songwriting, music creation, jingles, and live event entertainment.

“I am excited to leverage my extensive network of Inland Empire actors, dancers, and models to bring exceptional talent to advertising projects at Dameron Communications,” said Thillet.

Born in California and raised in Kentucky, Shani developed a passion for the arts early in her life. She studied theatre at Northern Kentucky University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with a minor in dance on a scholarship. Her dynamic career spans acting, singing, dancing, and voice-over work.

Under her artist name "Shani Sunshine," she independently released three EPs, culminating in her full-length, self-produced album "Road to Radiance" in 2019. Her performances have taken her across the nation and internationally, including appearances at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and a tour of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Shani's stage credits include musicals in Los Angeles, dance performances with Pones Inc. Dance Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the California Theater in San Bernardino. 

On screen, she co-starred in the streaming series "Ugly," which addresses racial equality, and a recurring role on the web series "Super Pops" on Totally TV, playing Tessa/Topaz, a lively Latin Pops singer, and the film The Gay Mafia.

“Shani is a valuable resource for Dameron Communications in casting talented local performers for commercials, dances, original songwriting, creating music, jingles, and delivering exciting performers for events, galas, and beyond,” said Carl M. Dameron, Dameron Communications president.
