Who is Shye?
Shye, whose full name is Trinity Shye-Anne Brown, is a 21-year-old who has been releasing original music since she was 16.
She was the Singapore winner of music competition Vans Musicians Wanted in 2018 and has been consistently releasing music since then, with several EPs and two albums to her name.
Locally, she also took part in a National Day song for 2021, "The Road Ahead".
And another fun fact: She took part in "okto Star", a talent search competition by okto, Singapore's children's programming channel.
Not a stranger to the international stage
More recently, Shye competed in the Chinese reality show, "Youth Pi Plan", where she collaborated with various artists to put up original music performances.
The singer shared her experience in the show in a TikTok video uploaded on her account shye.mp3.
