Jodi Shaw is an award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, poet, public speaker and writer/editor. She has released multiple music albums and has toured various venues in America and in Europe.
She lived in in New York City for 16 years working as a street busker and stage performer before relocating to Western Massachusetts. In the spring of 2009 she teamed up with fellow Canadian Malcolm Burn to record the ten hauntingly erotic vignettes that comprise In Waterland a highly evocative, intensely personal and thought-provoking work.
Jodi’s has received the Songwriters Hall of Fame Abe Olman Award for Outstanding Young Songwriters and was voted Best New Artist in the Hudson Valley, NY Songfest Singer-Songwriter Competition. Her music videos earned her the Creative Excellence Award (1st place) in the Queens College's Portfolio Video Competition, and first place in the Public Library Association video contest.
Jodi rose to public prominence in 2021 when she blew the whistle on the hostile and discriminatory work environment she encountered while an employee at Smith College. She summed up her experience at Smith in a public resignation letter published by journalist Bari Weiss.
Jodi believes that the ideology she encountered at Smith College (now common amongst many prominent western institutions) is a moral error, and the hallmark of a culture that has severed its connection to source. As an artist, she finds it offensive and dangerous. “No self-professed artist can possibly be okay with this,” Jodi said in an interview with herself on December 15, 2020. “If we allow this to continue, it will be the death of art.”
Jodi has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Tucker Carlson Today, The Megyn Kelly Show, Epoch Times American Thought Leaders, Triggernometry, and has been featured (not always positively) in Forbes, Rolling Stone and The New York Times. In 2021 she was named to the Independent Womens Forum Champion Women Series , and received the Heroes of Intellectual Freedom Award from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni in Washington DC for her courage and integrity in standing up to tyranny.
After struggling unsuccessfully for decades to understand humanity through a modernist, secular framework, Jodi finally received the grace to return to her Catholic Faith. In the spring of 2025 she was confirmed into the Catholic Church.
