Shae Fiol

About Me

A Portland, Oregon native who found her way to Brooklyn. Shae Fiol’s artistic journey started somewhere between harmonizing on road trips when she was 4, from the backseat of the family’s VW bug, to singing and dancing countless hours in her bedroom and living room.

As a composer, arranger, guitarist, lyricist, song-writer, and vocalist, Shae’s music transcends the industry’s confines to any particular genre. For as she says, “if I were a branch from the music tree, I would be a heart/soul branch with roots in Classical, Folk, Rythm & Blues, Hip-Hop, Jazz and Latin.”

In her element whether with her band or just her guitar, Shae has performed at popular New York City venues such as SOB's, The Bitter End, Crash Mansion and Joe’s Pub. Her message of love’s struggle reaches the hearts and minds of any listener, reminding us all of the beauty and pain that co-exist in love and life.
