Her live experience includes a mini tour with Alive Nation in 2019. The tour was a success and the performances were said to be a fresh look on country / pop.
A seasoned professional, Shellyann now resides in Swansea with fiancé Pete, her son and step children. She is continuing to build her social media and build her fan base while supporting her artist ambitions as an entertainment coordinator in a residential home.
At her core, Shellyann is a songwriter and has always strived to push herself as an artist and get her original music heard. She is a determined, hardworking soul with huge potential to succeed. As a writer, she has also worked on many sessions with other artists in the studio as well as co-written songs for many other artists, with recent demos being used by Welsh legend Bonnie Tyler.
Her recorded music has had success with the BBC Radio Wales on many occasions, where she has had many radio plays and has continued support from Ed Richmond. She has also had success on stations including Capital FM , Nation Radio, and The Wave FM.
Shellyann is now hard at work in the studio writing and preparing for her own album release due to hit the country music scene in 2021 / 2022. She is writing with a number of close musician friends on the album. The songs are classic country but modernised with hints of rock and folk, perfect for radio. The album will consist of 10/12 tracks and will be something to look out for.
We can’t wait to see Shellyann perform live!
