Welcome to my website! A creative evolution of my love for music, I will be posting several more pages such as ‘Quotes’ and photos in the near future. Meanwhile, enjoy, listen, and please contact me for any reason!
The songs here are all cover tunes, recorded several years ago, and are my favorite…good ole’ Jazz and Standards. I started singing professionally about 10 years ago in this style. As we speak I am working on original songs, which will incorporate Jazz and other styles. Check back for NEW songs to be posted before the end of the year. Happy Holidays! ~Shelley
Biography
Shelley Carlisle has possessed a lifelong passion for singing, songwriting and performing, propelling her into the professional realm and earning her the opportunity to perform in clubs and private engagements throughout California and New Mexico. Her spirit of adventure, versatility, and attention to musical detail enables her to perform a variety of styles, from jazz to blues to folk to pop. Shelley is adept at performing original songs, written by her and others, as well as the classics.
Shelley’s natural talent came to light when she first began charming audiences at the age of 5. It was confirmed when, as an elementary school student, she tested off the charts in musical ability and aptitude. Throughout high school and college, Shelley sang with many choral groups, most notably at the University of Miami’s widely recognized School of Music, where she also studied vocals and jazz. From there she came west to San Francisco and began vocal studies with a talented bay area performer, Sandy Geller, and attended the Blue Bear School of Music at Fort Mason.
Out of that experience grew the opportunities to perform with the Rock cover band Dizzy, an original Pop-Folk band called The River, and a Latin jazz trio, Hotlum, all of which she sang at several public and private locations throughout the Bay Area and Northern California. During this time, Shelley also studied and performed with Pilar Montaine, a renowned vocalist and vocal instructor from Mill Valley. Continuing with her music dream, Shelley moved to Los Angeles for one year, exploring the music business from a local perspective, gaining valuable performance experience and insight while developing a strong musical network. There she developed her vocal chops more extensively by retaining the services of Lis Lewis, a prominent vocal coach, vocal producer, and singer/songwriter from Los Angeles.
The ease and fluidity with which Shelley performs has been honed on the musical as well as the athletic stage. Shelley was a nationally ranked high school and collegiate swimmer, and later, one of the top U.S. triathletes in her age group. Her athletic career has helped Shelley to develop the commitment and dedication she applies to singing and performing.
Currently, Shelley is continuing to create original lyrics and music for her solo performances and recordings, while engaging in jazz and casual gigs in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and California. Recently, she had to take a several year break from her passion while nursing a paralyzed vocal chord, but has returned with a vengeance and love of music so fierce and passionate that her soul and vocal depth has grown tremendously.
Shelley embraces a present and future of playing and creating music for herself, the world, or whomever may feel connected to this mutual expansion. Shelley currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico & and shares her life with her several dogs, horses, and the enlightening people and desert sunrises and sunsets of the New Mexico landscapes!
