---

When was the first time you discovered you could sing?

That’s a long story, But I kinda always knew I could sing. My mom and my aunt are singers as well. I was really shy about it, so I never really told anyone that I could sing. I would sing in front of my cousin and my brother, but they didn’t care. In high school, I asked my mom for singing lessons to help me get out of my comfort zone. I kept writing and kept singing, and I gradually got more comfortable. I don’t even remember a time of being shy…now you can’t get me to shut up.

What are you currently working on? I know your new single next drops tomorrow…can you tell us what to expect?

My new single “Next.” It’s a little different, but I would call it a summer vibe. It’s fast paced, something new for me. I hope everybody enjoys it.

Where are you trying to go with your music?

I’m trying to go all the way. I want to travel. I want to see the world. I want people to know me for my music.

What should people know about you?

I feel like…I’m your typical girl who can sing and wants to make it. I have a dream that I’m trying to fulfill.

I don’t have a lot, no professional studio or anything fancy, but I find a way to get it done. I also have a boyfriend that makes beats, so we work together. We make a good team. But I work hard through my obstacles. I will graduate on the Deans List 3.7 gpa next year with a degree in Video Production. I try to succeed in literally anything that I do. I go to school, I work to provide for myself, and do my music full time. My schedule gets piled up but I don’t limit myself. That’s the music game.

What is unique about your music?

Stuff that I write…either I’ve seen it, experienced it or my friends experienced it. All my music is something I know from my point of view.

How can people find you?

I’m on all music platforms

Everything is @Naya.shea

So I like to pick people’s brains so my readers can get a sense of who you are. So let’s play a little game:

Finish this sentence: If I couldn’t sing, I would be…

Hmm something with dogs ,even though my major is Videography. That or editing anything in the Industry behind the scenes. But I really love dogs.

Soon to be legal and a college graduate Naya is determined to do it all and not afraid to sacrifice to accomplish her goals.
