Lashayah - Female Singer - West Midlands Event Location: London Event Type: Backing vocalist /feature artist

"I worked with Shaya on two tracks in the studio for a drum n bass project. She was easy to work with, providing back-up and main vocals with well-executed harmonies. She contributed some valuable improvisation to the tracks at points where I was not rapping. Her jazz-tinged vocal lent both tracks a soulful, airy feel that added to the moods of both songs, while not overpowering the rapped vocals that were already present."
