Shawn Patrick Stockman, a native of Southwest Philadelphia, started singing with the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale at the age of 8. He attended CAPA (Creative and Performing Arts High School) in South Philadelphia, where he met the other members of Boyz II Men, originally calling themselves Unique Attraction.

Stockman was recruited to join the R&B vocal group Boyz II Men in 1988, when members George Baldi, Jon Shoats and Marguerite Walker all left the group due to graduating from high school. He was asked to join after the members saw him sing a solo in the school choir. After signing to Motown in 1991, they released their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony. Boyz II Men would quickly start to climb music charts with songs such as; I'll Make Love to You (1994) and Water Runs Dry (1995). In 1996, the group released the single One Sweet Day featuring Mariah Carey. Boyz II Men are best known for their vocal harmonies. Stockman sings tenor vocals in the group. Stockman still tours with Boyz II Men as of 2023.

Stockman recorded a solo album as a side project during the late 1990s, but the LP was never released. Stockman appeared in the group Black Men United with his group as Boyz II Men, while recording their II album for the hit single "U Will Know" which appeared on the Jason's Lyric soundtrack (1994). He also wrote and sang the song "Visions of a Sunset" for the Mr. Holland's Opus soundtrack (1996). Stockman wrote the songs "Forever", "Hot Thing" and "Let It Go" (which was played during the Showtime film Seventeen Again). He also recorded a cover version of Beyoncé's hit song "If I Were a Boy", and contributed vocals on the title track of the Foo Fighters album Concrete and Gold (2017). Stockman started his own record label called Soul Chemistry Projects. He released solo album Forward in 2020, and Forward 2020.

In 2009, it was announced that Stockman would be a judge on the NBC show The Sing-Off. He remained a judge on the show until its cancellation in 2014.
