From her childhood days of acting, dancing and singing in live theater and performance events, entering and winning a stream of singing and art competitions, and gracing the TV screen in numerous advertisements, Shayna has delivered her creative talents in a variety of venues. After her debut as a challenger on a singing competition television show Asia Bagus, she then met up with a singing partner and was offered recording contracts by both SONY-Malaysia and EMI- Malaysia. At the same time, she was offered a live television show host spot, for a daily show called 'Speak Up', where she interviewed many international stars at primetime on a major TV network. She chose this instead, and by the age of fifteen, she became a TV celebrity in Malaysia. She soon graced the cover of several national magazines and gained exposure and fame in modeling for advertising giants such as Coca-Cola, Dove, Holiday Inn, and Nokia, among others.
Shayna attended the famous Berklee College of Music where she consumed more musical knowledge and cultivated long-lasting relationships with other talented musicians. She quickly became a gem in the eyes of her peers and professors who recognized her powerful abilities and her driven personality, so with support and encouragement from her mentors, Shayna decided it was time to launch her career as a singer with a difference. After leaving Berklee for New York City, Shayna completed recording and released her first debut album 'Beyond Borders' in February of 2006 and has successfully gained wide support from her listeners. In July of 2006, Shayna's first single 'Sweet While It Lasted' started spinning on two national Malaysian hit radio stations, HITZ FM and XFRESH FM. While still pursuing her career here in the United States, Shayna's hit single gained momentum very quickly and on its own merit, sans promotion, made it to Number 1 on the Top 10 charts on XFRESH FM in just a mere two weeks. This sparked the first collaboration with two local artists Shazzy and JFK on a song called 'Kali Pertama' which is one of a few singles released from her second album 'Half A World Away'.
In March 2007, Shayna returned to her homeland Malaysia for a four-month promotional tour to release and promote her second album 'Half A World Away'. Through generous media and press exposure, live performances, public appearances, together with her warm and cheerful personality and her fresh new sound in the music scene, she managed to captivate the hearts of many. Both her Malay singles 'Kali Pertama' and 'Percayalah Impianmu' began climbing up the charts very quickly on multiple national radio stations while her English single 'Endless Love' landed the Number 1 spot on HITZ FM - the Number 1 English radio station in the nation.
After only 3 months of releasing and promoting her second album 'Half a World Away', Shayna was nominated for 3 categories in the 2007 ERA Awards for 'Best Pop Song', 'Best Female Vocals' and 'Best New Artist'. With the release of 'Half A World Away' and her current (work in progress) 2008 EP project under her belt, Shayna is determined to make her mark and climb up the International radio charts someday soon.
Shayna delivers an amazing and dynamic live show that displays her captivating power and personality, her exotic beauty, and her incredible musical prowess. Shayna Zaid is positioning herself as a new force in the music world that is sure to be enrapturing. Shayna's music can be heard and purchased online and at all local record stores throughout Malaysia.

Just Because
Shayna Zaid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to hang it up right on the wall
Oh just for a moment
Maybe my equation isn't quite your cup of tea
I'd like to think that maybe you'd be drawn to me
For a moment
So go on go on
You'll never get caught
Just because
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like
Up against my imagination
Just because
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like
Just for a moment
Would you like to try a little chemistry
Or maybe we could make a little history
Oh just for a moment
So go on go on
Go on a measure me up with your thoughts
You'll never get caught
Just because
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like
Up against my imagination
Just because
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like
Just for a moment..
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get to know each other
For a moment
Just for a moment
So go on go on
Go on a measure me up with your thoughts
You'll never get caught
Just because
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like
Up against my imagination
Just because
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like
Just for a moment
The lyrics of Shayna Zaid's song "Just Because" explore the idea of attraction and the power of imagination. The singer expresses the desire to capture a moment in time, to put the object of her affection in a picture frame and hang it on the wall. She acknowledges that her approach may not be for everyone, and that her equation might not be the other person's cup of tea. But still, she wonders if perhaps they would be drawn to her, just for a moment.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "just because", followed by the singer wondering what it would be like to be up against her imagination. She offers the suggestion to try a little chemistry or to make a little history, but emphasizes that it would only be for a moment. The underlying message seems to be that sometimes a fleeting connection is all that's desired or needed.
The song ends with the singer imagining a scenario where two people could get to know each other, but again, just for a moment. Through her lyrics, Shayna Zaid captures the thrill of infatuation and the allure of a temporary escape from reality.
