She also created the clothing lines Phat Farm, Argyleculture, and American Classics). Miss Diddy states that she is “In love with Shanaya’s voice” and that she loves her track, referring to Shanaya’s to be released single titled “Of Destruction”.

As one of the most sought after motivational speakers on the global circuit today, Shanaya remarks “It’s been very gratifying to be asked to speak and sing my new single at great events held at USC, La Vern University, and the Queen Mary; to be able to reach out to so many people and teach that they too have the power overcome destructive life situations, especially teens today.
She is now pursuing a tour in the southwest in the next months to come. Who knows where this highly accomplished, inspiring, unique, organic success, extraordinary young talent of our time will be next.
