Shayna Steele began her career on Broadway as a star in Rent, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the original production of Hairspray. She went on to become perhaps one of the most sought after backup and demo vocalists in popular music (Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, and Bette Midler have all enlisted her). Gold Dust, her second album for Ropeadope, is a culmination of originals and incredibly reimagined covers from Ray Charles to Radiohead to Cole Porter.
