Shadaiyah

Shadaiyah, an elegant and seasoned songstylist, began her musical journey at age 11. Her world tour as a backing vocalist with internationally-known recording artist Evelyn Champagne King and subsequent musical opportunities allowed her to enjoy a rich career throughout the US and Europe - extensively in Panama, England, Germany, Italy and Canada.

In Israel, Shadaiyah has brought the house down in a multitude of performances at the Hilton, the Sheraton, the Dahniel, Moriah Plaza and the prestigious Red Sea Jazz Festival to name a few. Her portfolio is rich with the fullness of old Broadway hits, to the jubilance of gospel, to the make-you-wanna-dance tunes of today. To quote a critic from “The Jerusalem Post” (April 16, 1993), Shadaiyah “out-souled even Whitney Houston!” She is often referred to as “The Songbird,” whose mission is to warm the hearts of her listeners. Just ask her to sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and prepare yourself for one of the most powerful experiences of your life!

As a member of the RKP groups Starrlite, the New Jerusalem Fire Choir and a former lead vocalist with “The Prophets of Sound”, she has countless performances to her credit. The promotional copy of her first solo release featuring all original material, “Time of My Life”, is already being hailed by industry giants as an award-winning collection of timely and timeless tunes, descriptive of another world where everyone would love to be. Shadaiyah brings to the stage brilliant talent and sparkling showmanship - always sure to command an encore.
