Sheila Kay Shares Her Musical Journey and Upcoming Show Addressing Black Lives and Gun Violence with Trae Holiday

Sheila Kay recently sat down with Trae Holiday, sharing her musical journey and upcoming projects that promise to captivate audiences and spark important conversations.

From her earliest memories, music has been an integral part of Sheila's life. "My first memory of singing was at age four, with my dad using a Panasonic tape player," she reminisced. Growing up in a household filled with Motown, blues, and James Brown, Sheila's musical foundation was rich and diverse.

Her journey took an unexpected turn when she moved to Seattle and joined a Pentecostal church, where she honed her skills in singing and harmonizing. This experience laid the groundwork for her evolution from a music minister to falling in love with R&B and neo-soul.

Sheila's passion for music extends beyond performance. She explained, "I love spoken word and jazz, and how certain songs are healing for me." This healing power of music is evident in her latest project, "Black Voice Crying Out," inspired by the tragic murder of George Floyd and the subsequent community response.

January 25th, Sheila Kay takes the stage at the Royal Room in Columbia City for what she describes as "probably the most important show I've ever done." This event promises to be more than just a performance – it's a platform for awareness and healing, focusing on Black Lives and addressing gun violence.

Sheila invites the community to join her, "this is about Black Lives, about how we matter. It's about gun violence, and that's what the song is all about."
