Shani Sunshine is a jazzy pop singer-songwriter creativity extraordinaire. Her goal is to inspire her listeners with positivity and light.
As she laid upon a hill, basking in the sun, surrounded by the snow-capped French alps, the "Sunshine" vibe was created. Shani studied jazz and choral music throughout Europe during college, and at this time, she began writing original music. The feeling she had while performing with a group, and as a solo artist, showed her that life is too short, and it's better to live it doing the things you love. From that moment on, she embodied positivity in the best way she could each day, and strived to inspire others to do the same.
After graduating college in 2015, Sunshine uprooted her life to soak up the sun and pursue music full time on the Big Island of Hawaii. Upon arrival, she first walked into Leilani Estates, after an all day bus ride from the other side of the island. After her first adventure, she made it to Hale Ohia O Pomaikai Healing and Performing Arts Center, and it felt like home from the moment she arrived. Sunshine was overwhelmed by the never-ending support of the community. She attended weekly drum circles, ecstatic dance events, and open mic jams. Her creative well is overflowing with support, love, and aloha, and she wishes to share that with the world through music.
Shani Sunshine's first EP has released! "Alive with Aloha" is an album of positivity and Hawaiian values. This album was performed, recorded, produced, and mastered by Shani Sunshine during the Contemplation Camp Artist Retreat in Mountain View, Hawaii.
