The goal of her music is to “Be the bridge between the old and new generation.” Shekina wants her music to inspire/inhabit change within the unbeliever. She treats singing as a one-on-one worship session with God. “No one is around, it’s just me and God. I love to worship!” Shekina wears her father's glasses in memory for her New EP Album available everywhere -Without You
