Shariffa is one of the sweetest, most sensitive and empathetic souls I have had the pleasure of interviewing.  Come sit with us as we talk parenting, entrepreneurship, life, growth, grief, healing and wholeness.  She's a mum, singer/songwriter, gospel artist, dental hygienist and entrepreneur.    Over the last 20 years there has been a small selection of gospel artists who've broken the mold and crossed over to the mainstream by infusing pop, R&B, and hip hop into their songs without compromising on content.  Shariffa Nyan is adding her name to that list with projects like EVERY PART OF ME (2016) – her second “Neo-Gospel” EP containing elements of R&B, funk, and hip hop with productions by Don Christion and Lawrence “Illoquint” Wilder as well as mix tape, SOUL FOOD (2017)- a six track banger that bridged the gap between the secular and church worlds. 2018 yeilded 3 hit singles including UNITED by Dice Gamble ft. Shariffa Nyan, Pelle Price and VellVett, HEAVEN (Remastered) and THIS CHRISTMAS.  HEAVEN scored Shariffa a partnership opportunity with God's Glory Music Group and distribution deal with Symphonic.  Shariffa created quite the buzz with her 2019 single DO IT FOR LOVE ft. Dauntee VellVett!  Consistent spins on college and terrestrial radio as well as international and national blogs, definitely placed Shariffa in a lane all her own.    Though 2020 was one history's most tumultuous years, God still blessed!  Shariffa garnered several award nominations, launched a custom shoe and apparel line HÜEMÖN® collaborated with several amazing Gospel, Country and CHH artists worldwide, and released her long anticipated EP, "Foreign".    Today, Shariffa Nyan continues pursing her purpose as a mother of 3, a dental hygienist, singer/songwriter, budding entrepreneur and Woman of God.    To know more about her brand, her music and her journey in faith, visit www.shariffanyan.com today! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/beverlyspeaks/message
