Shayne didn’t start singing until she was 13 yrs old. When she was younger she tried and felt she wasn’t good at it. She had friends on Broadway at 7 years old. One day she discovered the Broadway musical Chicago she found herself replaying it over and over basically coaching herself, then one day her mom was in amazement when hearing her. She then started working with a vocal coach to fine tune.
Shayne a true Floridian born and raised in Boynton, West Palm area where she attended different art schools such as A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts majoring in theatre.
Her family is very supportive of her and assist in many ways. Shayne’s mother a former clothing wardrobe stylist ensures she is looking sharp for her events. Her husband originally from Czech Republic an established photographer and videographer is always making sure she rehearses, listens to tracks and also motivates her to run to stay performance ready. Her and her husband met auditioning for an independent film, they played romantic opposites.
Musical talent runs in her family. Her uncle was signed to RCA Records, Shayne described his music as Rocker Folk.
Shayne’s musical inspirations are Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar and Heart. She would love to open for Pat Benatar she said, “that would be the dream of her life”. If she could dabble in another genre of music, it would it be Pop because it’s fun and light.
