Shye is an independent singer-songwriter and music producer from Singapore. A DIY artiste who oversees the whole process of writing, recording and production from home, Shye is also the mixing and mastering engineer responsible for all her music. Her music is inspired by a mixture of dreamy and electronic pop, 2000s pop-punk as well as 80s British rock bands.
A self taught artist, Shye began her music journey at the age of 16 when she entered a music competition for fun and emerged unexpectedly as the winner, with music from her debut EP “Augus7ine” in 2018. Shye followed up with her 14-track debut album “days to morning glory” in 2020. In the following year, Shye released her second EP “hello TRINITY” followed by “idk it’s complicated” in 2022. Her next body of work, ‘9LIVES’ followed suit in October of 2023.
Shye’s notable achievements include her feature on a billboard for Spotify's EQUAL Campaign in Times Square, NYC in 2021. She was named 'Best New Act from Asia' at the 2022 BandLab NME Awards and received the 2022 KKBox 'Rising Star Award'. Shye self-funded her sold-out show, "hello morning glory, it's complicated" in October 2022. Last year, Shye was added to the Forbes Asia 30 under 30 list. She also took part in the China music reality show《青年派计划》broadcasted on Mango TV, where she emerged a finalist. Most recently, Shye participated in the idol survival show, Chuang Asia Thailand.
Some of the music festivals that Shye has played are Baybeats, Singapore (2019 and 2023), Urbanscapes, Malaysia (2019), Asia Rolling Music Festival, Taiwan (2022) and Tiger Den @ SXSW, US (2023) and Axean Festival held in Singapore (2023). She has also had the honour of opening for international acts such as Clairo, US (2019), Superoganism, UK (2019), SALES, US (2019), Men I Trust, CA (2023), Daniel Caesar, US (2023) and The Chairs, Taiwan (2023).
‘can’t you see’, Shye’s first release of the year is inspired by the dream pop wave of 2018/2019, about the time when she started to make music. It recalls an era and genre that will always hold a special place in her heart. This latest single captures the vibe and nostalgia of an attempt of a love confession to someone when words don’t come easy or don’t seem to be enough.
A constant work in progress, Shye is growing her craft one music release at a time. She is excited to share more new music over the next few months, please stay tuned!
