Shadiya's music career began while singing in the church choir when the music director discovered her talent. Wanting to see that talent blossom, the director took Shadiya under her wing and paid for her vocal and piano lessons. "I didn't even know I could sing until Mrs. Carr told me."

Winning the contest with her rendition of "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess, she went on to represent her state in the Hal Jackson's International Talented Teens Pageant held at the Coconut Grove in Hollywood, California.
