Shy Hopkins
Shy Hopkins is a wonderful find.
This artist is a legend and the world will soon see her as just that. V MusicDish.com
Its very easy to get lost amongst the thralls of todays unsigned and independent music scene. So many artists try to emulate the overplayed and mundane major airplay or seek to differentiate themselves so far away from it that their voices and talent are drowned within their own creative obscurity. This is not true of Shy Hopkins.
Clichéd phrases like diamond in the rough and one in a million doesnt come close to describing this gorgeous, yet humble (and yes) shy young lady. Singer, writer, producer, performer, artist K Shys talent is obviously immeasurable. And shes just getting started.
"Stolen Moments", Shy Hopkins freshman release is full of catchy hooks, memorable phrases and haunting melodies on top of incredibly produced tracks that drive listeners wild from track one. Its astonishing how many singles are compiled on this one project. Shys voice glides beautifully across each song.
Shy Hopkins sincerely great music, combined with her fun-filled energetic shows, her stunning looks and her sweet demeanor makes her Hall of Fame bound.
Simply put, Shy Hopkins is one to watch.
