SHAZ has got everyone from Annie Lennox to Kate Bush residing in her voice and the close-up nature of the clip brings to mind the vulnerability of Sinéad O’Connors’ take on “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Stereo Embers Magazine, August 2015.
Hi,
I'm Shaz, a singer/songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. I have been writing for a number of years with my previous bands Wonderland & The Beau Motives. More recently in 2015, I made the decision to go solo and write for both myself and for other artists.
My goal for 2015 has simply been to write good music and melodies, and continue to develop my passion for song writing. Through this process, I have been lucky enough to gain some early recognition from Simon Gavin (RCA, X Factor) who has been acting as a mentor while I continue to progress.
Influences include Kate Bush and Annie Lennox (kindly mentioned above by Stereo Embers in their recent review) along with Jessie Ware, Sade and Years & Years. I will be continuing to write through the second half of 2015, with the goal of finishing my début solo album early and slowly establishing myself as a writer and artist.
