A completely unexpected call in 2005 would dropped Shayna Steele squarely in the middle of genre she had absolutely no experience with: Electronica. Hearing that Moby “needed a screamer” for a track on his album “Hotel”, resulted in the disc’s second single “Raining Again”. Two years later, she was laying down vocals for “Extreme Ways (2007)” – Moby’s theme song to The Bourne Ultimatum – and “Disco Lies”, the first single off Moby’s 2008 release “Last Night”. The song went on to be featured in J.J. Abram’s summer blockbuster “Cloverfield” and the movie “The Backup Plan” starring Jennifer Lopez. Her voice has been in demand since, for movie soundtracks and television.

Steele began writing music with partner David Cook in 2002, collaborating on Steele’s eponymous debut EP in 2004. The album’s breakout soul-funk single “High Yella” achieved the attention of, and performances with, Ledisi, George Clinton and the Sugar Hill Gang, Bjorkestra and Snarky Puppy (2014 Nice Jazz Festival), and as a sideman with Lizz Wright, Bette Midler, Natasha Bedingfield, John Legend, Matthew Morrison, Yeah Yeah Yeahs,  Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson.

It was the release of Shayna’s first full-length album “I’ll Be Anything”, co-written with Cook that put Shayna on the map as a legitimate solo artist, throughout the United States and Europe. Her experience has lead to appearances on: Conan O’Brien, The Grammy Awards, The Tony Awards, The Tonight Show, David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show, American Idol, The Brit Awards, Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America,The Today Show, The Billboard Music Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards. This list goes on!
