Shelley Carlisle has possessed a lifelong passion for singing, songwriting and performing, relishing the spotlight and grateful for her ability to channel her soul through the gift of song. Her spirit of adventure, versatility, and attention to musical detail enables her to perform a variety of styles, in any venue.

Shelley's natural talent came to light when she first began charming audiences at the age of 5. It was confirmed when, as an Jr. High 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 California and studied with several well-known vocal producers and coaches:  Lis Lewis of the Singers Workshop in Los Angeles, who's clients include Rhianna, Britney Spears, Colbie Caillat, Courtney Love; Pilar, a world-renowned inspired singer, songwriter, and coach; and San Francisco Bay Area's Raz Kennedy, " the premier vocal coach in the Bay Area." 

Shelley has performed her favorite styles with seasoned individual musicians, bands, and symphonies - in clubs, private parties and events throughout the Western Untied States.

Currently, Shelley will be continuing to sing her favorites - Jazz and Standards on stage, and is loving the process of writing original music -- meditative, Latin, dance and pop rhythms, in her home studio. 

Shelley resides in Novato, California with her husband, kids and two dogs. Please visit www.shelleycarlisle.com

The modern era of music has given way to enigmas and artists of all shapes and forms who break the norm of what we have come to expect as far as what an artist truly is.  BA-KEM Da BLACK SOUL further known as BA-KEM DBS is one such artist that epitomizes the essence of the modern era.
