Shaila – SuperQueen
Multitalented entertainer Shaila drops uplifting new single ‘SuperQueen’
LOS ANGELES, CA – There’s perhaps never been a more opportune time for a single like “SuperQueen” than there is now. After a year in which so many people have felt an overwhelming heaviness, West Coast artist Shaila wants to offer the world something a little lighter and more uplifting. So with her new single, she’s encouraging people to love themselves a little more and shake off the self-doubt that often comes when looking at the little imperfections of character.
“This song is just a great reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be loved,” Shaila said. “I wrote it during a time in my life when I had just entered high school and I was around so many different people and my confidence was very low. Singing was my therapy and I wrote this song to encourage myself. It has taken on a life of its own and today, it has more meaning than ever.”
Like a lot of singers in the U.S., Shaila started singing in church. Her mother was a singer and she would bring Shaila to choir practice regularly. She got her opportunity to join the choir at a relatively young age. Shaila started singing lead in choir when she was 5 years old, relatively young. The experience was overwhelmingly positive that she decided to make music her career, and she hasn’t looked back since. Over time, she has worked hard to hone in on her signature sound, and she’s become known for creating and singing melodies that are different than what’s in the industry today. Her sound is fresh and seamlessly blends together elements of Pop, R&B and Gospel into one beautiful sound. “SuperQueen” in particular shows off the soulful richness of her voice which has fans all over the world begging for more.
“Ultimately, I want my music to be about uplifting people,” Shaila said. “I also want it to make them feel good. For myself, music is my escape. If I’m able to take people away from the stress they’re experiencing in their lives and make them feel better about themselves or make them happier throughout the day, then that’s my biggest goal for my music.”
As Shaila has grown as an artist, she’s discovered a broader range to her entertaining talents. While experiencing success as a musician, Shaila has also had success as an actor and a dancer. She’s performed on Broadway and was a featured singer, dancer and actress on Sesame Street Live. She said some of the music videos she’s planning on releasing in the coming months will display some of her dancing ability.

Your reason to keep trying and to push a little harder than you thought you could. You why reminds you of what you’re made of and brings out the best in you.” The Healing drops April 19.

Santa Sallet X Nemizzo (MSP) – “Big Hands”
DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet and France-based producer Nemizzo are MSP, presenting their new single “Big Hands”. Sallet has been busy showcasing his brand of East Coast braggadocious rap across a slew of recent singles like “Camouflage” (watch on Youtube), “I Get Money” (watch on Youtube), “Championship Ring” (watch on Youtube) and “Chinese Funk” (watch on Youtube) in preparation for the release of Plutography, Sallet’s forthcoming album which blends salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples, reflecting Sallet’s international upbringing across South Africa, Dominica and the US. Sallet is planning a series of full-length releases, among them C.R.E.A.M. which recounts his journey from broke to financially free, and Women and R.A.P. which describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry respectively. “This is the song that really started MSP Tunes,” Santa says. “Nemizzo had laid down his verse and I was like, let me try something on this and I just talked about what I knew. What I think is funny, the outro is actually me recording a bunch of potential beat tags. There was a miscommunication and Nemizzo extended the beat and made it the outro. I like it though lol.” Check out Santa Sallet merch here.
