A powerful soul singer who hits high notes with ease and puts plenty of feeling into every song that she interprets, Shayna Steele is a logical successor to Aretha Franklin.

She was born in California, raised in Mississippi, and is based in New York.

Ms. Steele started out as a background singer, performing with Rihanna, Bette Midler, and Steely Dan before emerging as a solo vocalist with Chris Botti, Snarky Puppy and Moby, displaying the influences and inspiration of Rachelle Farrell, Chaka.Khan and Stevie Wonder on her three CDs.

For her LiveStream of April 2, 2020, Shayna Steele is accompanied by pianist David Cook on a variety of material during which she covers different moods while always coming across as a passionate and powerful singer who can raise the roof on a moment’s notice.
