My music has been featured on MTV, Disney+, The CW and retail/dining spaces around the world. I've been playing for 19 years. I play bass, guitar, produce and write songs. Need a great bassline to complement your song? A killer electric guitar track? Acoustic guitar track? A whole band, fully produced song? I got you.
I'm a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I write, produce, and record all my instruments for my own alt pop/rock music project (shaylamdaniel.com) and play bass guitar for the gospel & contemporary worship choir at my church and several live bands around town.

"McDaniel has also caught the attention of the Knoxville Music Warehouse, who chose her song “I’ll Leave the Light On” as one of the top 16 songs from Knoxville artists in 2016. The following year, fans voted her Knoxville’s Favorite Band of 2017. Her song “Silence” from the EP 26 Letters was voted Best Singer/Songwriter Song in the 2018 Knoxville Music Awards. She was voted Knoxville’s Best Musician/Band in the 2018 Best of Knoxville Awards, nominated Best Female Local Singer/Songwriter of 2019 and 2020 by CityView Magazine, and nominated Knoxville's Best Musician/Band of 2019 and 2020 by Knoxnews readers."

Shayla has a wonderful voice and is a great songwriter. It was super fun to work on a remix for her vocals. She is also very responsive which made the project go quickly. Highly recommended working with Shayla and I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
