Who is Shiny Iris?

Shiny Iris is a Franco-Congolese singer, blogger and songwriter from the south of France, with a tropical pop style. She arrived in Nice at the age of 6. Although she misses her roots, she has decided to pay tribute to them through her music, fusing French, English and Lingala, tropical pop and Afro-beat, reggae and r’n’b with Latin and gospel.

She has been singing since she was very young. She toured the stages of Nice, performing mainly cover versions, before settling in Marseille and taking a new path. There, she learned to play guitar, wrote her first lyrics and teamed up with several arrangers and composers for her very first tropical pop project. If the main themes in Shiny’s lyrics are love, family, disability, faith, hope or simply hope, it’s above all to get a positive message across.
