Influences
Earth Wind & Fire, Philip Bailey, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Al Green, Smokey Robinson, Prince, Michael Jackson, George Michael, The Beach Boys, Motown, Philly sound... and more!
Mr. Shy's first single, "Super Star", has been stunningly remixed by 3-time Grammy Award-Winning producer Juan Belmonte (Cher, Ricky Martin, Whitney Houston) and is featured on his latest album, Olivia Valere's Night & Chill, on the Spanish label Blanco y Negro Records.
A New York City native, Mr. Shy is a soul/pop singer, songwriter and performer... and a true original.
Growing up, his influences ranged from The Beatles to Marvin Gaye to Prince. His own singing, writing and performing over the years has resulted in a mature, distinctive song craft and style of musical expression very much his own.
Guided by a soulful and passionate voice, delivering thoughtful, straight forward lyrics of love, and sewn together with infectious hooks and harmonies would best describe Super Star, Mr. Shy's debut release on New Soul Records -- an album of carefully crafted pop songs with an r&b/urban edge.
Also released are two remix compilations, the first on Gotta Keep Faith Records, and the latest, Global Remix Project (GRP). Both are a collection of amazing dance, deep-house and funk remixes of songs off his album, produced by some of the best DJ's around the globe. Download tracks here using Snocap, or at BeatsDigital.
Former lead singer of New Soul Orchestra, Mr. Shy was recently made "Featured Artist" on PayPlay.fm. His latest video of "Super Star" was remixed by renowned French producer Mr. Fuzz.

nice to hear from you. Yes, we saw your Rock Star cousin a few weeks ago at Wartburg-festival/Eisenach which is always very special. And we saw him earlier this year(January) in Berlin. You want to come to Germany up to the North? If you'll come very nearby, any date would be perfect. We have a lot of concerts to visit in the next time, so just make a proposal about your plans...
