Carol: Another really cool experience I’d like you to share is that of being a cartoon character.
Sha: I was also made into a cartoon character for The Cannoli’s show and hired to do the voice of that character (alongside Joy Behar of The View, Mitchell Musso from High School Musical, and Big Pussy from The Sopranos).
Carol: Crazy cool !
What about hobbies Sha? Do you have any?
Sha: I do enjoy writing, performing and producing music.
Carol: I am so glad you mentioned music. Isn’t music a big part of who you are Sadie?
Sha: Yes, Carol it is. I didn’t go into music to be a performer. I didn’t want to bump Adele offstage at Caesar’s. I got into the industry to take care of people commercially. I decided to create my own catalogue of music that we could use in our own business as I edit video and equally as important that we could offer other people.
In 2019, my music partner Kevyn Kelley and I created the Dub Funk genre. Our record label hit the #1 and #4 Hit Songs on Spotify’s International Top 20 Summer Jams in 2021. We have over 100 commercial songs recorded and are the subject of a Superhero interactive comic, have two songs in released movies, one used in our ESPN commercials for Energice and have one song under review for a leading video game title. Surprisingly, we were asked to produce a one hour show for Radio Wigwam coming up this month. They have been featuring both of our groups weekly, Manic Sound Expulsion and King Zilla ft. Bro Blake.
Carol: Congratulations Sha!
A somewhat of a dual question: Would you share again (I know we covered this in our first article, but it is important at this time to mention Ariel as she is AriSha™ as well) how did you and Ariel meet and what accomplishments as AriSha™ stand out that you can think of ?
Sha: Thank you again Carol. This is very exciting, sharing my story with you. September 21, 2019 is a fun memory meeting Ari for the first time. I was interviewing a girl for a promotional position and she asked Ari to come along for support. Ari was a couple weeks away from turning 21 and we were turned away from The Chandelier Bar in The Cosmopolitan. I found a bar upstairs with waitresses with less attitude and our meeting lasted about 2 hours. I hired Ariel on the spot, and she was always there when I needed help.
We decided in January of 2020 to move our warehouse from Colorado to Nevada and Ari was there to help me open it. We had workers building tables around us and we were shipping on corners of tables. When COVID hit, life changed, and Ari had more time away from formal on campus classes. She was always there for me and we began living together officially about a year after we met. Shortly thereafter, we restructured some opportunities and Ari became an equal partner to me in everything I do. She earned it with her competency, intention, motivation, and support. She is a poster girl for consistency and she earned a full partnership due to that trait.
As far as AriSha™ accomplishments: One would be that involving The Palm Steakhouse Wall. The Palm Steakhouse is an iconic national chain with 21 premier restaurants throughout the United States. Aside from their fine food, The Palm is known for its highly recognizable walls, which features large caricatures of very important historical and cultural people or groups to that location. In Vegas, the wall portrays the important hotels of The Las Vegas Strip as well as performers like Elvis, Sammy Davis, Wayne Newton, and Celine Dion. There are business legends like Benny Binion and Steve Wynn and mixed among all these prolific Las Vegas notables, AriSha™ was invited to memorialize ourselves as part of Las Vegas business and entertainment culture.
We also wrote, produced, directed, and starred in four 30 second advertising spots for the hydration ice pop Energice, that have been shown hundreds of times on ESPN, ESPN2, etc., during the last half of 2021.
Carol: I know of one other I can think of that I truly love. That is AriSha™ and the amazing Cirque de Soleil performers. I could watch Cirque de Soleil for hours!
Sha: Yes. AriSha™. We modeled, danced and performed with famed Cirque de Soleil entertainers on stage on the world famous The Vegas Strip as well. We really want to do it all so we give it our best.

Carol: With all the success you have had and continue to experience, what are your main business interests?
Sha: Carol, I’d have to say my main business interests surround the invisible world.
Carol: Very interesting. Although I am familiar with what you are referring to, please share what you mean by “the invisible world?”
Sha: When I discuss the invisible world, I am referring to things that cannot be seen with your eyesight. Examples of the invisible world would include gravity, magnetism, radiation, EMF, far infrared emissivity, terpenes, and viruses.
