👉 🎤 Interview: Most Asked Questions to Shirley Cason

Q: What inspires your relaxing piano music?
A: I write songs based on personal moments that either moved me to tears or made me laugh. Life has both joy and sorrow, and I try to reflect that balance in my music. If it stirs my heart, I believe it can stir someone else's too.

Q: Do you sing on your albums?
A: Not yet—but who knows what the future holds! While I don't sing on my albums currently, I do write lyrics to many of my songs. Some of my listeners enjoy reading the lyrics even when the songs are purely instrumental.

Q: What makes your albums stand out in the relaxing music genre?
A: I blend piano and keyboards with soft orchestration, creating music that’s both emotional and peaceful. Each album tells a story, often mirroring moments from my own life, which I think helps listeners connect more deeply.

Q: What are some achievements you're proud of?
A: I’m proud to have received two Grammy® certificates in the New Age category for my albums Relax and Inner Peace. One of my most meaningful milestones is that my Relaxing Piano Music CD has remained on Amazon Music’s Top 100 New Age Instrumental chart for the past 3 years.

It was also a true honor when My Peaceful World was chosen by Deepak Chopra as his Spotify Artist Pick—an unexpected and deeply appreciated recognition.

Another special moment was arranging the keyboard accompaniment for Janis Ian’s song A Thousand Years. I took her original vocal and acoustic guitar performance and created a soft instrumental arrangement to enhance her heartfelt delivery. It was my personal tribute to a songwriter I’ve long admired.

Q: Where can people listen and support your music?
A: You can listen on Spotify, YouTube, and Bandcamp. My official website shirleycason.com has everything—including free music downloads, licensing info, and my press page.

Q: What message do you hope to share through your music?
A: That music is a gentle companion through all seasons of life. Whether you're celebrating, grieving, daydreaming, or just breathing, I hope my music brings peace, comfort, and inspiration
