Shylah Ray Sunshine

An Algonquin Native of Canada, Shylah Ray Sunshine is a multi–award-winning singer, songwriter, activist, musician, mother, doula, DJ, and professional vocal coach whose work bridges music, healing, and consciousness.
Known for her powerful voice, radiant stage presence, and grounded authenticity, Shylah has become one of the most influential voices in the world of conscious soul music.

Coming from humble roots, Shylah dreamed of becoming a singer from a young age, teaching herself piano, percussion, and vocal expression. After years of performing at karaoke nights and open mics to develop her craft, a serendipitous visit to Los Angeles sparked her professional music career. Around the same time, she began her journey into motherhood, giving birth to her first daughter at home at the age of 20 — a transformation that became the catalyst for her songwriting and spiritual awakening.

By 2009, she was performing throughout Los Angeles, where her gospel-like voice, sensual tone, and deeply moving lyrics began to attract attention. Her unique blend of Neo-Soul, R&B, Blues, and New Age Jazz—infused with ambient, organic, and electronic elements—creates a sound both timeless and transcendent. Inspired by Whitney Houston, Lauryn Hill, Fela Kuti, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, and Bob Marley, Shylah’s music embodies radical emotional transparency, feminine empowerment, and spiritual depth.

Her mission is to inspire others to live boldly and authentically, using their voices as instruments of truth and transformation. Each song is a vessel for spiritual healing, Indigenous representation, community connection, cultural equality, and environmental respect.
