SHAIRAH Interview with Vancouver Red Carpet

Sunday, Apr 19, 2009 11:55AM / News

Dear Fans and Friends,

Below is a recent Interview I did with Sabine Mondestin of Vancouver Red Carpet. I had a lovely time. The day was soooooo cold and cloudy so you cannot see the beautiful mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in the background but it's there ;) This interview was done outside on the balcony of one of the highest floors of the building. Facing me was the Ocean so it was very windy yet refreshing. I love the Ocean!

I love the Clip they inserted at the end beside with Credits. Hahaha. Be sure to watch until the end!

Thank you Sabine for having me on your show!!

Many thanks to Mandy Lau for Make Up and Hair!!

As always, thank you all for your Luv & Support!!
~Shairah~

*Note* Sabine Mondestin's Grandmother is full Chinese! I've recommended her to create a Profile on AnD keeps your eyes open for her here soon!

Subway ♫Sing for your Supper♫ - Eat Fresh!!

Sunday, Mar 8, 2009 10:08AM / News

Hello All!

I took some time out of Recording last week since my Agent called me exclaiming "Subway wants to feature you in a Commercial, SINGING!" I was like, sure no problem. The premise is I'm dressed like a normal Girl which suddenly breaks into a Mariah Carey-esque singing style with the lyrics, "Five, Five Dollar, Five Dollar Footlong, etc." Hilarious (see my P.S. below for more hilarity!)

The Director was great to work with. He loved my performance so I was thrilled. He had a true understanding of an Artist's needs giving me the freedom to perform it as I wished so as not to hinder any creative elements which would be captured in the Take. The Production Crew were extremely nice, each one of them coming up to me throught the shoot stating we had either Filmed together before and it is a pleasure working with you again or that they were Fans of my Music or had seen me in Concert. It made me feel really special to have that type of response.

And of course there was a "Behind The Scenes" Film Team, going around and interviewing the Actors. There were also several other Musicians who and they did their own rendition of the "Five Dollar Footlong Song". I wonder how the end result will turn out. Regardless, we're in for a creative laugh I'm sure ;)

Overall is was Fun and realized that although Music is my First Love, I miss working in Film. Once I've completed this next Album (tentative release May '09) I'll be accepting more Filming in between Touring and Promoting the Release. Exciting!!

P.S. If anyone wants a laugh, one Summer in my early Teenage life I worked at Subway! Hahahahaa. I was always Singing and writing songs in my breaks. My coworkers use to say you should sing a theme song for Subway... Hahahaa :)

I'm happy to share this experience with all on AnD. Sending good vibes everyone's way! May all you Dreams come true!!

Shairah In The Studio

Sunday, Feb 8, 2009 10:51AM / News

Hi All!!

Just got these Pics back and thought I'd give you an inside peek at me in the Studio. Lots of hard work goes into making a Record (and watching Anime and playing Playstation 2 and my DS in between!) My journey is a bit different than various other Artists since I also Songwrite, Compose and Produce. When I'm suppose to take a break as a Recording Artist, I am required to put on my Producer Hat. When the Producer takes a break it's time for the Songwriter/Composer to get creative. That's me again, you get the idea. No sleep for me! You can see my face in the 3rd picture where I fell asleep playing Playstation 2 and was woken up. Hahaha. Don't get me wrong there are many other People involved with a variety of my upcoming songs as well as Producers, etc. and of course, I LOVE what I do!! :) It's all for the Fans and that moment on Stage when I can share with the World! Though in until then, thank God for Anime! It's the rare time I'm not working. TV shows usually doesn't hold my attention span (I'm a Movie Lover) but Anime sure does ;) I'm really excited for this next album and I do hope you enjoy it!

Lots of Luv
Shairah
