What is the most comfortable shoe you've ever worn?

I had a pair of Helmut Lang heels that were so comfortable, I wore them down until the straps broke!

What brand of sneaker would you never be caught dead wearing?

I can't say that there is a shoe brand that I wouldn't wear. The sneakers I wear represent me and my style. I usually go for style first, then comfort when I'm shopping.

What's your favorite pair of kicks and why?

Right now my favorite kicks are my hot punk wedge sneakers by SKCH 3. They are so comfortable, affordable and look great.

Whats the most you would spend on a pair of kicks?

Maybe $250 although Giuseppe Zanoti has some wedge sneakers for $800 that are worth the occasional splurgethat I have.

Do you consider your self a certified female sneaker head? No, not really but when Im not wearing heels I am in sneakers. My closet is full of heels.

What pair of kicks do you wish would come back from your childhood and why? British Knights! My sister had a pair when I was a kid, but I was too young to have a pair. I always wanted the shoes and clothes she had.

Do you have any upcoming shows if so where can viewers check you out? I will be performing at Joe's Pub,will be touring Russia for 3 1/2 weeks in May, Harlem week main stage in July and BET Music Matters Aug 13th.

Please let our viewers know who Sharaya J is?

Sharaya J is a Native Hawaiian raised in Jersey City, NJ. Music has been prevalent in her life since she was a young girl, her father was lead rapper of the 90's Hip Hop group Double XX Posse. After having a very lucrative dance career dancing for the likes of artist such as Diddy, Rhianna, and Alicia Keys; she is now ready to take center stage as Missy Elliott's new artist.

What does BANJI stand for and whats the BANJI movement all about?

BANJI is an Acronym for Be Authentic Never Jeopardize Individuality. The "BANJI MOVEMENT" was birthed when I had a meeting with some record execs and after agreeing that they liked the records and I was talented all I needed to do next was wear less clothes, put on some heels, and get a weave…??? LOL… Clearly that wasn't something I was willing to do because I wanted to present my Real self to the world and if the talent was there what was the big deal. After that experience I realized that I would set out on a mission to prove that you can make it in this business without having to conform.

Check out this video about Sharaya J Discovery!

How did you get discovered by missy elliot?

Actually, Me and Missy met thru a mutual friend. I was a dancer and because Missy has always been connected with the dance world we ran into each other at an event. Of course like dancers do, we were all battling and getting busy on the dance floor and Missy pulled me to the side and asked me if I was an artist. I told her that I'd actually been dabbling in it lately and she was like "…good because you got that superstar quality." She then offered me the opportunity of a lifetime by taking me under her wing and grooming me for greatness. She became my mentor and the rest is history.

( Check out the Banji Video above sooo dope!)

What was the inspiration behind your Banji music video? ( i love it)

Man, I wanted to do something fun and creative for sure. I'm always pushing myself to think outside the box and with a mentor like Missy she's always pushing pass perfection. (lol) Of course It was going to be dance inspired for sure because that is my root and I always wanna stay connected with that. We also shot a couple scenes in Jersey City because that my hometown! The "Don't Be A Menace…" spoof was just us having fun! I love that movie!

Bobby Brown! I love him as a performer and I love the 80's and 90's I grew up in those eras so I've always been intrigued by them! The color turquoise is just my fav color.

What brand of sneaker would you never be caught dead wearing?

What's your favorite pair of kicks and why?

Now that's a hard question… But of course I love jays, but I like retro joints too like ewings or 54 11's. I like kicks that make a statement.

Whats the most you would spend on a pair of kicks?

Depends on the kicks, but I definitely ain't touching 5 stacks!
