Shaynee Rainbolt

Multi Award Winning Jazz Singer from New York City

About Me

Don Heckman of the Los Angeles Times wrote: “The first thing that grabs you about Shaynee Rainbolt is her voice: a warm, rich, multi-hued sound that can range from the intimacy of a sensuous whisper in your ear to a sexy strut down Fifth Avenue. It's a voice that one can imagine caressing a ballad, or scatting briskly through the changes of “I Got Rhythm” backed by a bop-driven jazz quintet. And that's just for starters. She is, in other words, a singer for all seasons, underscoring her constant musical eclecticism with the subtleties of jazz-inflected phrasing and a sumptuous tone.”
