With five recent placements on CBS's The Young & the Restless (since Jan. '08), three #1 songs on Malaysian radio, and an incredibly dynamic live show with performances in NYC, Boston, L.A., Singapore and Malaysia, Shayna is creating a strong buzz within the industry and amongst fans.
In July of 2006, Shayna's first single 'Sweet While It Lasted' started spinning on two national Malaysian hit radio stations, HITZ FM and XFRESH FM. While still pursuing her career here in the United States, Shayna's single gained momentum very quickly and on its own merit, sans promotion, made it to Number 1 on the Top 10 charts on XFRESH FM in just a mere two weeks.
In March 2007, Shayna returned to her homeland Malaysia for a four-month promotional tour to release and promote her second album 'Half A World Away". Through generous media and press exposure, live performances, public appearances, together with her warm personality and her fresh new sound in the music scene, she managed to captivate the hearts of many. Both her Malay singles 'Kali Pertama' and 'Percayalah Impianmu' began climbing up the charts very quickly on multiple national radio stations while her English single 'Endless Love' landed the Number 1 spot on HITZ FM - the Number 1 English radio station in the nation.
After only 3 months of releasing and promoting her second album 'Half a World Away,' Shayna was nominated for 3 categories in the 2007 ERA Awards for 'Best Pop Song', 'Best Female Vocals' and 'Best New Artist'.
