Every song she writes, every note she sings, and every word she says points to the truth of her heart.

Every song she writes, every note she sings, and every word she says points to the truth of her heart - no matter what’s happening, there’s always an upside.
Despite a continuing battle with incurable cancer, Cinder Shine sees the best in life and people. You can hear her inspiring attitude in every song on her newly released album “Trace The Sky”. Having been singing and playing guitar for most of her life (she got a guitar for her 7th birthday), Cinder has an uncanny ability to reach in and hug your heart. She has always played and sang by ear which has helped Cinder make songs that always feel good as you listen.
As she gets older and wiser, Cinder finds it easier and easier to tap into “the flow” where songs wait for her so she can bring them to life. She loves to entertain you with her authentic performance of the songs she loves with all her heart.
Trace the Sky is Cinder Shine’s new album of songs inspired by her courageous life battles.
Trace The Sky was proudly crowdfunded in October via GoFundMe and produced in Los Angeles by Billy Lefler (Ingrid Michaelson, Dashboard Confessional). These singer/songwriter songs are packed full of optimistic heart and soul.
Cinder Shine is known for her smile and joie de vivre. That’s how she got her name. Cinder inspires and supports her fellow creatives with all her heart.
Visionary wisdom fuels her songwriting. Raw talent and experience make her a compelling artist. With an unending belief in goodness and a great sense of humor, Cinder is not only a great collaborator, but more important, a loving friend.
In 2019 Cinder got off her motorcycle and couldn’t walk, cancer metastatic to the bone. She turned away from a successful fitness business and decided to focus on fun. This decision led her back into songwriting and performing. She also studied sync, practiced, and gained respect, rep deals, and placements, along with countless hours of life-giving satisfaction.
Cinder Shines despite endless treatments and scary cancer moments. She brings her CINDER SPARK to her own inspired solo LP, as well as her Pop, Funk and Hip Hop projects.
Dan Trilk aka Ol’ Big Bear and Cinder Shine are a rock’n pair of uplifters and fun havers. The love and caring between these fast friends pour into the songs they write and record together.
Dan’s soulful vocals ala Black Keys, and Cinder’s shine make songs that burst with good feeling. You can hear their music on TV shows, advertisements, and a new movie coming February 2023.
This unlikely partnership that will blow your socks off with out of the box creativity, fun, and authentic positive vibes. These two musical souls meet at a spirit level and take off from there…
Lifting and cajoling their people, with words and song, into having better and better days. You’re just gonna love these two!

This song came right out of her heart, David heard it, and within 24 hours the song was done. Cinder tracked her vocals after she got home from a radiation treatment on her face. Amazing.
