“Christchurch singer-songwriter Shayna King is a rising star. She will release her debut album (heard it - it’s amazing).”

Vicki Anderson, The Press

“The (album) is an energetic mix of different styles: acoustic ballads revealing the warmest tones of King’s voice (Beautiful Life), rocky pop songs (Swept Away), and a punchy blues number (Heart of Blues).”

Cecile Meier, NZ Musician Magazine

“Shayna’s voice is like a sip of lemonade on a hot day. Very down home and could easily find a cozy place in film and television as well as on repeat in your earbuds.”
