The Block’s Shaynna Blaze has revealed the surprising reason she has launched her music career.
The celebrity interior designer, 61, explained in an Instagram video that she doesn’t see music as a reinvention, but a long-overdue return after her music career was paused when she became a mum.
‘There’s lots of reasons why music was on the backburner for me. Initially it was my family. I just wasn’t making enough money to support them,’ she said.
‘It was about getting other avenues of income…you just don’t make a lot of money.’
‘On top of that, my kids were getting older and I used to sing when they were young. I’d put them to bed, go to sing and then come back, and my parents would look after them. But it got to the stage where my daughter was 14 or 15, she was going out to parties. And I was like “I think I need to be around”.’

The Block judge said that it ‘hurt’ her not to perform, to the point where she couldn’t listen to music for a very long time.
‘I missed it. There was something that really hurt listening to music so I actually stopped listening to music for a while. The songs that I loved I didn’t play anymore. I suppressed it only because I missed it so much,’ she confessed.
It comes after Shaynna shocked fans last month when she revealed she would be releasing her ‘very first’ music single, called Warrior.

In a post to Instagram, she posed in what appeared to be a music venue and told her fans to ‘watch this space’.
‘Oh the places you’ll go… with music,’ she wrote in the caption alongside a video in which she wore a cowboy hat and strutted around the venue.
Shaynna first flaunted her secret vocal talent last December while singing I’ll Be Home for Christmas.
She also teased touring as her pop career takes off
‘I am releasing my very first single. I can’t wait. It’s an original song written with Gary Pinto and it’s called Warrior,’ she said in a video she posted.
‘It’s quite a different style. I love jazz, I love acid jazz, I love soul, I love funk. So it’s a combination of all of those with a very big high grade energy.’

Shaynna first made the announcement in April when she shared the cover art for her upcoming single, which saw her garbed in a leather jacket.
Fans were stunned to hear the Block judge had a secret talent and passion for singing, with some flocking to her announcement to express their shock.
‘I had no idea your talents included singing,’ one person wrote, while another said: ‘You’re a singer? You are amazing.’
Despite dipping her toe into the world of music, Shaynna will return as a judge on The Block 2024 alongside Darren and Marty Fox, who will replace Neale Whitaker.
