Shay Dillon, 2007 International winner for best Female R&B artist and Album for the Toronto Exclusive Online Awards and the 2006 International Award winner for the Best Female Solo Artist from the Music Aid International Music Awards began as a young performer with her first appearance on Nashville television at the age of 13. Dedicated to her art, the self taught artist secured work with other artists in the Nashville area and began a long journey to finding her style. Working with Country Bands to Top 40 cover bands, studio work and singing in Nashville Honky Tonks, Shay began to develop her niche. With influences ranging from Country and Southern Gospel to Rock and Blues, somewhere in between all of these genres Shay emerged with her own voice. Fans and critics alike are enthralled by Shays earthy, raw mix of Blues, Soul and R&B. Her effortless segues from sweet soulful sounds to a powerful earth shaking belt are evidence of the command Shay has over her craft and her delivery most definitely evokes emotion in the listener. The songs Shay writes move you, plain and simple. You will not come away from a listen without an emotional response.
