Shaina Taub can't be tied down to one genre. A good song is a good song is a good song, she maintains, as she slips gracefully in and out of musical theatre, pop, and soul. Here, Shaina insightfully and intelligently discusses the importance of artistic process, being influenced by her peers, and her dream of one day having her own Ben & Jerry's flavor.  www.shainataub.com
