Shay (known IRL as Shannon) wrote “Baton Rouge Blues” while working production crew on a television show that shot in Baton Rouge in 2022.

A songwriter from her teen years, this marks the first time she’s had a song professionally produced. She’s got a collection of poorly recorded GarageBand demos for her ears only (and that’s for the best).

Her favorite childhood memories revolve around singing. She grew up in New Jersey and Kentucky. In high school, she was selected to participate in choruses such as Kentucky All State Choir and NKU Honor Choir.

She now lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Luis, and dog, Bernie. She studied Film & Television Production at USC and also holds a degree in Photography from Los Angeles City College.

She’s thrilled to be able to pursue the artistic endeavors she loves — and that includes releasing more music.
