Scheana Shay’s love for performing has been well documented over the years, but according to her husband, Brock Davies, she began questioning her passion after a televised singing gig.
The Vanderpump Rules dad confirmed this during a recent appearance on Tom Schwartz’s Detox/Retox podcast, where he was asked to share an update on his wife’s music career.
Brock Davies confirms Scheana Shay has recorded new music
“Scheana is definitely making new music. She actually is sitting on four tracks,” he said before touching on Scheana’s short-lived run on a singing competition show. “Yeah, but she got stage fright… The Masked Singer was a tough one for her. She really enjoyed that, and she didn’t want to go home [on] day one. She got voted out.”
Brock said the experience took a toll on Scheana’s confidence and caused her to “second-guess” her talent. But in true Brock fashion, he refused to let his wife accept defeat and encouraged her to return to their in-home recording studio.
“I was like, ‘Come on, honey, let’s get this confidence back. Let’s get these tracks going. Let’s get to making music,’” he recalled. “She does music because she’s an entertainer. Let’s be real on that one. She likes to entertain people. She wants to be on stage and have fun with them. So she takes that and runs with it.”

Tom agreed.
“Truly, honestly, ‘Good as Gold’ still slaps,” he said, referring to Scheana’s 2013 single. “It’s an iconic song. Scheana is iconic. She really is. She’s tried and tested.”
Why Scheana Shay was hesitant to join a singing reality competition
Scheana appeared on The Masked Singer Season 13, Episode 4, and was the first to be eliminated from her group. She spoke about the competition series in a March interview with People magazine, explaining why she was initially hesitant to do the show.

“I didn’t want to come on at all, if I’m being honest,” she said. “When I got the call, I was like, ‘Nope, nope, absolutely not. I am not doing that.’ After being on Vanderpump Rules and people making fun of me for doing music when I’m like, I’ve never wanted to be a pop star. It was just always something as a fun side hobby. I love performing, I love making music, I love doing all of this, but it’s never been priority No. 1.”
Scheana said her concern was the public’s reaction and being dismissed as a joke.
“I just didn’t want another thing to be made fun of for singing on national television. It took some convincing from my team, she said. “But it was such an incredible experience, and I’m glad I got that push that I needed because I would’ve missed out on an incredible opportunity. That is something that I want my daughter [Summer Moon Honey Davies] to grow up and do, to not be afraid of the unknown and to take chances.”
Scheana is now preparing to release her first memoir, My Good Side. Get more details about the book before it hits shelves on July 22.
