Whitney Shay is a four-time San Diego Music Award winner (including 2019 Artist of the Year) and 2019 Blues Music Award nominee. She's spent the last several years touring internationally throughout Europe and South America. Her latest release on Ruf Records Stand Up! debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Album Charts and also reached #1 on the Roots Music Report Blues Album Charts. So basically, she's on fire. 🔥 But much like our most coveted influencers online, Whitney Shay strategically and painstakingly poured years of passion and grit into her career. None of this was handed to the #busylittlesinger. She learned the value of hard work early on in her life participating in children and youth theater productions. She went on to earn a degree in Theater Performance from San Diego State University. She got her first gig experience after answering an ad on Craigslist to be part of a jazz duo. That later led to a steady 3-night-a-week, 4-hour gig in Downtown San Diego. From there she became a hard-working, full-time singer. As it happens, one gig led to another, led to an invitation to tour internationally, and led to a record deal. As spectators, we see the sparkly dresses and highlight reel. What we don't see if the enormous amount of blood, sweat, and tears poured into a successful career. Your Next Step 👣 📝 Write down your top 3 singing goals for the next year. Then write out each step and task you'll need to accomplish to reach each goal. Finally, put each of those tasks on a schedule and get to work! We're in a new day and age that will challenge us to be innovative and use all of our experience and know-how to be successful at what we do. If you know you've got what it takes but don't know where to start, I'd love to help. In my vocal coaching practice, we work on both your strategy and your craft.
