Shaniah Paige – ‘Mysterious Boy’

Named after Shania Twain, Shaniah Paige, from Monmouth, Illinois, was almost destined from birth for a life as a country music singer, and developed a passion for the genre at an early age. Shaniah took every opportunity to perform in local theatre productions, and then, at the age of 15, started work with multi-platinum music producer Andrew Lane, known for his work on High School Musical, and Hannah Montana. Shaniah’s latest single, ‘Mysterious Boy’, was released on November 14.

Shane Palko – ‘Staring Out The Window’

Originally from Pennsylvania, Shane Palko was first handed a guitar at the age of 6, and quickly joined two of his older brothers in search of telling a story through its strings and his voice. He’s had an unusual life – was brought up in a forest and spent much of the past decade touring the world – and so it’s no wonder the 28 year old indie folk/rock musician has such an incredible artistic vision. His song, ‘Staring Out The Window’, was born while visiting Uganda.
