About
High-voltage rock and bubblegum pop collide in the music of Shaynie Rhoads, guitar-slinging headbanger from Oceanside, California. With riffs inspired by 80’s metal and a voice straight out of the teen idol movement of the 00’s, Shaynie gives rise to a unique sound that is unabashedly feminine with a rebellious, rock ‘n’ roll edge. She calls it “pink metal.”
“I was always a bit of a misfit, and not the cool kind,” she tells SD Voyager Magazine. “I was the girl that showed up to class in blue eyeshadow and faux fur platform boots. I drove a crusty old car and worked at Vons so that I could buy band shirts and concert tickets.”
As a recording artist, Shaynie releases music under her label, Hotcakes Records. She continues to expand her reach across San Diego and has played at venues like The Roxy, Belly Up, Casbah and Soda Bar. She is also the proud owner of a small music school in Solana Beach, through which she has created a community where students of all ages can learn and enjoy music together.

“In addition to the energy of the song, the fun side of the lyrics combined with Shaynie’s Lolita voice will make this song your energizing ray of sunshine for the whole week!”
“Shaynie Rhoads returns with a recharged battery to give us a moment of nostalgia through a punk song with roots in the 2000s and a gritty, explosive and chaotic style.”
“With her effortless swagger and electrifying presence, Rhoads’s steadfast refusal to compromise on anything regarding her artistic vision has paid off. Impressively, Rhoads has consistently found ways to balance the evolution and refinement of her sound while staying true to her original artistic aesthetic and vision. ”
“I get that I don’t look like the typical metalhead, but what is a metalhead supposed to look like, anyway?”
“About a month ago, I jokingly posted on Twitter that I’d create a record label of my own and sign myself.”
“Most of them were in orchestra or opera as kids, and I was this newcomer that had spent her formative years playing power chords and listening to heavy metal.”
