Q: What are your strengths?
A: I would say I am very dedicated to my work. Whether its acting, modeling or shoe modeling, I take it very seriously and am always grateful and humbled to be able to work in this business.
Q: What is the best advice you can offer someone just starting out in the business?
A: To never get discouraged and just don't give up. Persistence is the key. Going to castings and auditions can sometimes be disappointing when you don't book it. Just know its the nature of the business and it has nothing to do with you or something that is wrong with you. Clients are specific about what they want, so you can never take it personally.
Q: What are you most excited and inspired about right now?
A: As an actress, I get to read different types of scripts and that is quite exciting! I feel so blessed to have 3 movies coming out between 2019-2020 that I get to tell stories through acting and that maybe I will inspire others through the stories I play.
I am also very excited about upcoming modeling work with Coach and Philosophy. I just love working with different creatives. Creative people have inspired me on so many levels!
From our perspective, The quote from Khalid, “Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up on yourself,” reminds us of the attitude of our talented and stunning Shuya.
She has persevered and continued to let her curiosity and passions guide her to great adventures in her travels and in every booking she takes on.
Clients have said many times, “Shuya was awesome! We love her!”
It’s not surprising with her work ethic, effortless fashion sense, and being so comfortable in her own skin with all her martial arts training.
Bottom line, when you book Shuya, she packs a serious punch. She is just as talented as she is humble. What more could you ask for!?
