Eden Shireen

Hi, I'm Eden.
I'm 19 years old and I have never felt my age.
I have always been too focused on the future.
I'm extremely passionate about everything.

My glass is always half full and happiness is the number one priority in my life.
I over think things.. I over analyze.. I read too much into conversations and people.. I always feel vulnerable. But that's just who I am.

I've grown up in a small town in Tampa, Florida with a loving and very involved family surrounding me.

I don't remember the distinct moment when I started singing.. I just sang. It was what made me feel special.. My little singing secret.. I was always too scared to sing in front of anyone though.. The fear of criticism has always haunted me. When I was fifteen I decided to try out for the school acting troupe and when I sang for the winter show in front of 200 people, I was bit by that bug all singers and songwriters get.. The calmness you feel when you hear the music and the eyes watching.. I knew I was doing something for the first time that would never have an end. It was the first time anyone other my director had heard me sing.. I remember my mom crying and my dad being shocked.. My grandpa was so proud. It was an amazing feeling and I will never forget that first feeling of confidence.

I started writing my own songs that same year. I didn't play an instrument, I just wrote lyrics. Not playing an instrument didn't really phase me in my songwriting. I just wrote from a personal place...so

I like to view life a little differently than everyone else.. Then I write music about it. Genres include pop, alternative and indie. My EP, Eden Shireen, was released in December 2013, new album coming soon!
