Brett is joined by Billboard Artist and all around creative Shyra Sanchez. They chat all things music, manifestation of dreams and goals and good ole Sacramento California. She shares her early start in heavy metal, working with Bay Area groups, and how it feels to be in a band, to have them broken up by a label and more. Sanchez grew up in Northern California in a multicultural household where music was a daily constant. Inspired by her mother's strength and spirituality, she began as a dancer before the pull toward songwriting took over, finding in the studio a way to tell the truth about her own experience. Over time, that expanded into building lifestyle brands, mentoring emerging talent, and working as a motivational speaker, all grounded in the same belief that self-expression is power. She has collaborated with Grammy-winning producers and worked with acclaimed choreographer and director Travis Payne, and built a career spanning music, film, fashion, and wellness. She counts almost 180,000 Instagram followers, more than one million YouTube views, and coverage in OK Magazine, the Los Angeles Tribune, iHeartRadio, and Swagger Magazine among her recent milestones.
