Shayna is also honored to announce the special event will be part of the 13th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days. The month-long October event was started in memory of journalist-musician Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed by terrorists in 2002 and who spent much of his life unifying people around the world through the universal language of music. The Daniel Pearl World Music Days aim to build bridges between communities using music and their honorary committee including artists such as Steve Aoki, Herbie Hancock, R.E.M, Pink, Matisyahu, Russell Simmons and more. Shayna is moved to be a part of such a wonderful cause and to dedicate her EP release show to the memory of such an impactful person, sharing,
Music can unite. It can uplift and make a difference. To be able to contribute to that in any way is such an honor. I cannot tell you how excited I am that my EP release show Wednesday night will be joining the ranks of such iconic artists as Barbara Streisand, Elton John, Cyndi Lauper and The Dave Matthews Band, all of whom are participating in the Daniel Pearl Music Day event.
