Although Shawn Stockman is still a part of Boyz II Men, he also has a solo career, and released his debut album, "Foreword," in April 2020. The album contains all of the songs from his 2018 EP, "Shawn," as well as a handful of new songs (via You Know I Got Soul). "This is just something that was for me, something personal that I wanted to try and do. And come out of my comfort zone," Stockman told 360 Degree Sound about his decision to release a solo album in an exclusive interview in August 2020. "I could just be in Boyz II Men for the rest of my life and be totally fine. I wanted to challenge myself. As an artist, you want to do things that are hard or uncomfortable because that's what keeps you sharp and that's what keeps the music exciting."

In addition to his solo career, Stockman also served as a judge on NBC's "The Sing-Off" in 2011, joining Ben Folds, Sara Bareillas, and host Nick Lachey to find the best a capella singing group in the country. "What I love is that I get to sit with good friends who are very knowledgeable about the business for two or three hours and talk about music — and get paid," he said at the time (via BET).
