Shantaia’s Rise: The Untold Story Behind the Country’s Hottest New Voice Ready to Shake Up the Scene
Shantaia recently took the time to talk with SWAGGER about life, music, horses, and much more.
SWAGGER: What’s your earliest memory of falling in love with music?
Shantaia: My earliest memory of falling in love with music was when I started to write songs at 9 years old. I went from just a student of music, taking classical singing lessons, piano and guitar lessons, to freedom to express myself through everything I had studied and learned about music. I was now creating my own chord progressions, my own lyrics, and my own melodies. It was exhilarating! I also remember being extremely determined to learn my favorite songs on guitar, taking them back to my cousin Riley (who was my guitar teacher at the time) and being eager to show him that I was able to teach myself “Our Song” by Taylor Swift before he could show me. I was maybe 8 at the time!
