HEY! Carmelita: What inspires your music ?

“I am inspired by everyday people experiencing love, heartbreak, and everything in between. I love writing about people and their relatable experiences.

I love being able to express the feelings and emotions that people are too afraid to share or speak about, yet need or want to hear.”

Following the release of ‘No Rainy Days’ in the summer, Shana returns with a remix that she believes places the track on a whole new level.

Produced by Jiffthegeneral, the UK garage mix of No Rainy Days strongly compliments the burgeoning resurgence of the once dominant London sound.

Listen to “No Rainy Days (Jiffthegeneral Garage Mix)” HERE.

Shana says, “I’ve always been a fan of garage. I don’t think a day passes where I don’t listen to at least one track from the past, so I’m really excited to be able to inject that into my own project.”

At just 17, Shana is determined to reach as many people as possible with her music and not allow genre to box her in. A video already accompanies the original version of ‘No Rainy Days’ and additional vocals were added to the remix.

Watch “No Rainy Days” music video HERE. 

Stay Tuned! For more from Shana very soon.
