About Shaé Universe: 

Imagine if Lauryn Hill, India Arie, and Brandy had a baby…. that’s Shaé Universe. Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, the British-Nigerian soul singer has made waves making music that engages, enchants, and inspires. Her mother a gospel singer and her father a pastor, Shaé weaves her spirituality, faith and sensuality through her work. Shaé is an artist who can both sing and rap, and has received nods from artists like Lalah Hathaway, Jorja Smith,  Little Simz, PHABO, and ENNY to name a few all while remaining entirely independent — navigating the music industry on her own terms. Now in her new era following performances at legendary festivals around the world from Glastonbury to SXSW in addition to fans at British Vogue, Billboard, Rolling Stone, NPR Music, and Vibe Magazine, Shaé has truly taken her music to a global stage — this year has Shaé Universe’s name written all over it.
