Although she was born and raised in Omaha, NE, Shai holds her southern ancestral roots/routes close to her heart. Never forgetting where her family comes from, she pours this gratitude and this nostalgic element into her art. Shai has been creating since she was six years old beginning with drawing and songwriting. She began acting at age fourteen and continued to write songs, poetry throughout her high school years. 

Sincerely Nostalgic was a concept created by Shai in 2021 to encapsulate her approach to life. She believes the best way to capture her experiences is through channeling her emotions and reminiscent energy through art mediums no matter how raw or flawed they may be. 

Sincerely Nostalgic incorporates Shai's passion for poetry and self expression.
