Artist History
SHE WRITES THE SONGS... Tania Shana Yegelwel, born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, has grown up on the stage. At 8 years old, Tania made her singing debut in her school's talent show and fell in love with performing. Over the next few years, Tania participated in local musical theatre productions and studied dance, focusing on ballet and jazz. Her first composition, "Can't Get My Feet to Move," won the local John Lennon Songwriting Contest for high school students although she was only in middle school at the time. Tania's writing ranges from classic country to pop. She loves painting pictures with lyrics, using music as her tapestry. When you listen to her songs you can't help daydreaming about Paris, or reflecting on the trials and tribulations of coming of age. Standouts from her diverse songwriting repertoire include "Six Pointed Star," a moving tribute honoring the memories of Holocaust victims, the classic country ballad, "Mr. Right," and "Save Yourself" with its powerful message.
She also demonstrates her ability to add new energy to other writers' songs with her gospel-flavored cover of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe." At 18, Tania is one of the newest musical voices of generation next. However, her music not only speaks to her peers, but to folks of all ages. Tania continues to compose and sing while attending the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.Tania Shana Yegelwel Blog

 The “Six Pointed Star” CD-single by Tania Shana Yegelwel is a chilling and heart-wrenching song that pays tribute to the millions whose lives were taken during the Holocaust. Taking a very literal and straight-forward lyrical approach, this song proudly declares “I wear around my neck this six pointed star, for the six million, remember who they are.” Musically, this single assumes an easy listening sound. Beautiful piano, string, and flute arrangements set to a backdrop of a native drum beat gives this song a very interesting edge that nicely accompanies Tania's strong vocals. Additionally, the background vocals are skillfully placed and add a very real sense of depth and emotion. To top things off, “Six Pointed Star” flaunts top notch production, making this song a very effective and professional tribute. -Xavier and the RadioIndy TeamCheck out Tania Shana Yegelwel's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
