Shadayah Mae was born in Long Island, New York. At the age of nine, she moved to Louisiana with her family. "Shay" got her first taste of playing a character in musical theater. She enjoyed the performing arts, but wanted to learn more. With the growth of the film industry in Louisiana, her mother inquired at the local film studios about acting classes for her daughter. There, is where Shay's journey in the film world began. Although studying to pursue larger roles, Shay worked as background in TV shows and feature films. Soon she landed a lead in an indie-short and booked her first national commercial for Belvita. Before long, Shay caught the eye of casting director/producer Joey Paul Jensen. She was requested to travel to Virginia to audition for a role in the Civil War feature "Field Of Lost Shoes". After the audition she was called back in to meet the writer, producer and director of the film. They were amazed at her extraordinary talent and she was cast in the film, her first theatrical release. Although a young teen, Shadayah spends much of her time at the acting studio in Louisiana. Her dedication to her craft landed her the job of junior assistant, where she works as scene collaborator and as a reader in weekly on-camera classes. In her spare time, Shadayah enjoys writing, running track and field and watching NFL football. Hide
