Shiré - Baltimore's Daughter
..
12 Months of Cinemax for a penny

A native of the tough city of Baltimore, MD, "Shiré" always knew that she would someday be a star. She began singing and dancing at the tender age of 7, however, oddly enough singing was not her first love. She loved the theatre and began acting in numerous school plays. She competed in the state competitions for the Arts and for three years in a row she won the award for The Best Theatrical Performance.

Then one day while still in high school she met R&B mega-star "Sisqo" of the the group "Dru Hill". Sisqo always wanted to create a female version of Dru-Hill so he formed a girl group around Shiré and named the group Lovher. He signed them to his production company and quickly signed them to a deal with Def Soul/Def Jam Records as the first female group ever on that label. Shiré and Lovher were quickly thrusted into the music world. Still as an impressionable teenager and barely out of high school, Shiré (at the time known as "Chinky") got her first brush with stardom when she did a duet with Sisqo and he put it on Dru-Hill’s second album. He took the group on tour with him and they performed with him on national television shows like TRL and the 1st Annual BET Awards. Then without ever even officially releasing an album, Shiré had a memorable performance at the nationally televised Lady of Soul Awards. In that same year she had a Single and Video on the soundtrack for the Box Office Movie Smash "Rush Hour 2", entitled "How's It Gonna Be". She was featured in widely published magazines, such as Vibe, Teen People, Black Beat, Right On, Honey and received a notable mention in Billboard Magazine. However just before the group's debut album was to be released, her seemingly promising career came to an abrupt end. Due to some unknown political reasons within the structure of the group's Record deal and Sisqo’s internal problems with the label, Def Jam never released the group’s album. Soon after, Sisqo, Dru-Hill and Lovher were all dropped from the label. Shiré was devastated! Her childhood dreams of becoming a star seemed to be over within a blink of an eye. Shortly thereafter the group broke-up and she moved back home to Baltimore and slowly began "picking up the pieces".

While living in Baltimore, Shiré turned back to her original love of acting and performing in the theatre and got casted as the lead in an eight week play called "Can a Good Woman Change a Bad Man", written by Sherry Grant. The play seemed to breathe life back into her childhood dreams of stardom. She then flew to Los Angeles, CA and took an eight week acting course taught by Margie Herbert. She left LA inspired and very hopeful. Then her calling for music somehow resurfaced. Through a mutual friend, she met with some local producers and began to record music again. Because of that, she began doing features on several platinum rap artist albums, such as DMX, Camron, Method Man and The DJ Kay Slay Mix-tape Album. Then in 2006, she briefly reunited with her former group members. By Spring of 2006, the group had officially moved to Philadelphia, PA and began recording some new material with a Philly-based Production Company/Record Label called "Hot City Music Group". However, in Jan.'07 due to some professional and creative differences, the group decided to finally part ways for good this time. Once again, Shiré had to "pick up the pieces" and move on. This time instead of moving back to Baltimore, she decided to make Philadelphia her home and continued to work with Hot City Music Group.

For the first time in her life Shiré decided to focus on her own goals and dreams. With the help of her current team consisting of Hot City Music Group and Family Ties Entertainment, she began writing songs for her solo project as well as for other Major Recording Artist. Unlike most singers of her generation, Shiré is a true artist who loves to make real music about real life situations; the ups and the downs! She has become a prolific singer/songwriter and all of her songs feature beautiful melodies, meaningful lyrics and powerful arrangements. Her voice is a subtle blend of the raw soulfulness of Aretha Franklin mixed with the pain and conviction of a young Mary J. Blige. Everyone who hears her uniquely thick and raspy, yet honey-coated voice instantly falls in love with it. Within three months of focusing on her own solo project her "team" was able to create her "industry buzz" and she began being courted by a number of major record labels and publishing companies. Within 24 hours of hearing her music and personally meeting her, long time record executive and owner of SRC Records, Steve Rifkind fell in love with her and offered her a Record deal "on the spot". Now with the music business finally going back to real singers, Shiré has a very promising future ahead of her. She is currently in the studio finishing up her debut album and is at this time, preparing for the fall release of her debut album entitled "Pickin Up Da Pieces". Don't forget to download the Mix-Tape Street Album, entitled "Baltimore's Daughter- The Pre-Album".

One thing is for certain; after "picking up the pieces" hopefully for the last time, Shiré is definitely living-out her dream of becoming a superstar. The only question that still remains is; when it’s all said and done, just how bright will her Star Shine?
