LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA—Shanaya Fastje, at 16-years-old, has accomplished more than many adults accomplish in a lifetime. She’s an international award winning author of four books, a national motivational speaker, and an enthralling singer/songwriter.
Through her music, public speaking, and artistic skill, Shanaya has worked endlessly for over six years with exuberant passion to influence society in a positive manner for a confident and stronger way of living.
She explains, “I have worked tremendously hard to get to where I am with my career. Nobody gave me anything for free.”
Shanaya’s music has caught the eyes and ears of entertainment industry professionals. One of which will be featured in an upcoming television series. “To be recognized in the music industry as a serious artist is certainly gratifying,” stated Shanaya.
Influenced by artists such as Lana Del Rey and Sky Ferreira, both songs have an alternative vibe to them. She states, “‘Fight For Who Stays’ is generally about distracting yourself from your inner demons, finding ways to overpower them and come to your own instead of letting the negativity and constant voices in your head telling you that you can’t do something. It’s about fighting back and being able to do what you want.”
The musician’s track “Of Destruction,” is about one’s inability to distinguish between good and bad, yet realizing that there’s a good in every bad and a bad in every good.
“It’s about seeing and understanding that, so you’re not blinded by reality,” she explained.
As this young rocker perfects her craft and continues to be a positive role model for people everywhere, she has no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, she’s in the stages of finishing her fifth book—her first sci-fi/fantasy novel. Shanaya continues to captivate us all.
