SongbirdShia is a Southern-born singer-songwriter with a voice that doesn’t just carry melody — it commands presence. Thick with soul, full of definition, and wrapped in velvet, her sound lives where nostalgia meets newness: part 90s R&B, part neo-soul, all lived experience.

Music wasn’t a discovery — it was a knowing. By the age of five, she knew it was the one thing she’d spend her life doing. At fifteen, she stepped into her first studio session, recording original songs with the same emotional honesty that defines her work today.

But unlike most artists, she didn’t get a head start with co-signs, connections, or industry shortcuts. Her story begins in survival, in building the foundation herself & figuring out how to fund the dream long before the doors opened. At just twenty-one, she launched a business from scratch, not as a backup plan but as a means to support her music on her own terms.

What began as a way to support her career became a decade-long journey that sharpened her branding, taught her ownership, and quietly sustained the dream she never let go of. A path that gave her the skills to protect the very thing she came here to do: make music that lasts.

Now, she’s bringing every lesson from the boardroom into the booth — with clarity, control, and a sound that could never be manufactured.
