Shea Diamond, (pronounced she-uh)
Singer/Songwriter based in LA by way of Flint, MI.
I was born into a gender role that I did not accept & I didnât feel like myself. Desperate to find the financial means to transition to my true gender, I committed a crime in 1999 & was sentenced to 10 years in a men's prison.
While incarcerated, I found a community that shared my trans experience - it was there where I found my voice. I began writing âI Am Herâ as a statement to a world that said I shouldn't exist. I wrote it as an anthem for all those that felt shunned for simply being who they were. In 2009 I was released from prison. Shortly after my release, I moved to New York City where I found a studio to record âI Am Herâ and the means to create a video for my song.Â
