About Shayna Leigh:
Originally
from Orlando, Florida, Shayna Leigh was raised on The Beatles and
Carole King, but was also a product of the boy band era. Her mixed
influences stayed with her when she moved to New York City for college.
Since then, Shayna has taken the musical pulse of the city and
translated its long history into a sound that resonates throughout her
debut EP, The Cold Hard Truth and the Dream. The EP, consisting
of three original songs and produced by Mitchell Cohen (Columbia,
Arista, and Verve Records) was released in January 2014 as a free
download on Noisetrade.com. The lyric video for her breakthrough single,
"Next to Me", has received over 165,000 views on YouTube.
In
2013 while working on her debut EP, Shayna took to the road performing
sold-out shows at Rams Head Tavern, The Living Room, Bitter End,
Rockwood Music Hall, World Café Live, and The Stephen Talkhouse. She has
even made the hop across the Atlantic to perform in London, with
Aquarian Weekly calling her tour "a triumph." Shayna's career has been
marked by a steadfast determination to get her music out there, hopeful
she can make a positive impact. "We all have a story to share and
mine is woven in my music. I was taught that we are here not only to
take care of ourselves, but to make other people's lives better. That
doesn't mean forget your own dreams. It means be kind, be funny, smile.
Make a positive impact. The world is changed in small positive
gestures. I do believe that."
Shayna's highly anticipated second EP, 'Hey Shayna Leigh', released September 9th, 2014. For the project she tapped
the talents of noted songwriter Peter Zizzo (Celine Dion, Elizabeth
Gillies), Grammy winning producer Michael Mangini, and Steely Dan's
producer, Gary Katz. This summer Shayna released her uplifting single, "Drive (Back to Where You Lived)," to
an amazing response, garnering her features on Huffington Post,
American Songwriter, Artist Direct, PA Music Live, World Lifestyle,
AXS.com and more.
