Early life
Shaylo Sama, or Shay,[8][9] was born on April 22, 1995 in Paterson, New Jersey.[10] He began taking interest in music in 2011 as a songwriter in middle school. He began to produce orchestral music and instrumentals due to being bullied by his classmates, and due to the success of his debut single "I Don't Want To Be Sad Ever Again" on the audio distribution platform SoundCloud, Shaylo eventually gave up on songwriting to become a music producer.
History
2016 (early): Friends and Shaylo Records
Shay Legacy began making music in 2011 and began to gain attention in 2016. His debut single, I Don't Want To Be Sad Ever Again was released on March 16, 2016,[11] catching the attention of many YouTube promoters, such as Sector Music, Soundsky, SadVibe 美しい, DeadMusicFC, and Keep It Underground.
He became close friends with singers; Airi, Sagi, and nike, alongside with music producers; 11t, Yasuha., and Chewie Melodies. The six became a team and closely worked with Shay, as they all continued to put out new content and improve within the year. They later formed an independent label called Shaylo Records, focusing on bringing artists from all over the world regardless of genres.
On July 25, 2016, close friend and mentor, 11t, had passed away (due to unknown reason).[12] This affected Shay in many ways, mentally and physically. He announced a Remix EP of 11t's "Because I Love You" releasing at the end of the year, as a loving memory of a great friend.
2016 (mid): FOGPAK and Epic Network Music
On November 14, 2016, he released a song titled "Call You" with FOGPAK label on the audio distribution platform Bandcamp.[13][14][15] On December 29, 2016, he also released the first remix version of 11t's "Because I Love You", remixed by Yasuha. on SoundCloud,[16] licensed by Epic Network Music. The track was dedicated and a tribute to the passing of 11t. Two months later, it was then released on Epic Network Music's YouTube Channel.[17] Ever since then, Shay was now a signed artist and part of FOGPAK and Epic Network Music, and continued to release music with the two labels.
2017: Final Memory and Retirement
On February 28, 2017, Shay released the second and final remix of 11t's "Because I Love You", remixed by NY~ON on SoundCloud,[18] owned and licensed by all 3 labels, Shaylo Records, FOGPAK, and Epic Network Music. The remix track was also an exclusive release on Epic Network Music's YouTube Channel[19] and exclusive release on FOGPAK's Bandcamp page.[20]
On the same day, Shay announced that he was going to retire for the remaining year of 2017, due to depression and the passing of 11t. "Because I Love You (NY~ON Remix)" was the last track that he ever released in 2017 on his SoundCloud page.[21]
2018: Shaylo Records Continues
Since Shay's retirement, the members in Shaylo Records continued to put out new music, and Shay continued to work behind the scenes and operate the record label. He also announced in the beginning of the year, he was going to make his return, with an upcoming debut album. His labels had given him a welcome back gift.[22]
