Shayna Steele’s career started the age of 15, appearing on Ed McMahon’s Star Search. In 2005 Steele found herself in a genre she had no experience with: Electronica. Hearing that Moby “needed a screamer” for a track off his new album Hotel, Steele became the vocalist for the disc’s second single “Raining Again.” Two years later, she provided vocals for “Extreme Ways (2007)” – Moby’s theme song to The Jason Bourne films – and in early 2008, “Disco Lies“, the first single off of Moby’s 2008 release Last Night. She provided vocals on the Hairspray film soundtrack, Sex and the City 2 soundtrack, NBC’s Smash, the 2008 Summer Olympic highlights on BBC and the 2021 release of In the Heights (Motion Picture Soundtrack). Steele has made television guest appearances on HBO’s The Sopranos and reprised her Broadway role with the “Dynamites” in NBC’s Hairspray Live. Steele has been seen as a Broadway ensemble member in shows such as Rent and Hairspray and has supported artists like Bette Midler, Rihanna, and Kelly Clarkson. Steele released her 3rd studio album Watch Me Fly following the success of her album Rise (Ropeadope Records) in 2015 which reached #3 on the U.S. iTunes jazz charts.
