In June of 1986, Shelby and his family moved to Loveland Colorado from Ludlow IL, where Music exploded into his life and awakened his talents. He relized then and there that singing would be a permanent structure in his life. He joined the local church choir at the age of 14 and soon after he was performing in barbershop choirs, shcools and anywhere else he could find an audience.He was exposed to many genres of music at that time, with his favorites being Country and Rock-n-Roll. His early influences, like many others, were George Strait, Randy Travis, and Garth Brooks. Add a little Styx, a pinch of Gospel and a dab of The Bob’s (an a capella group), and you have yourself a well-rounded singer - yet his heart remains country, like his roots.

In the fall of 1996, Shelby moved to Nashville to be closer to the heart of Country Music. Since then, he has performed all over Tennessee, Colorado, Ohio and Nebraska, and written several of his own songs, some appearing on his debut album The Rest Of The Dream. His first single release, "Baby I Bet," is currently receiving widespread airplay on small and medium markets nationwide. Shelby has been a member of BMI since 2006 and continues to evolve as a songwriter, musician, engineer and producer. He has collaborated with and performed songs from some of the best writers in the industry. “Since moving out here I have met wonderful people, learned a lot, and still have more to learn.

2008 was a wonderful year for Shelby, with "Baby I Bet" climbing to the 80 spot on the New Music Weekly Charts and the 25 spot in that same publication’s “Up and Coming Artist” chart within 3 weeks of its release. A guest appearance on Billy Block’s syndicated “Locals Only” radio program and on-air interview on 103.3 WKDF FM led to a local releaseof the second single “Hey Angel” off of "The Rest Of The Dream" CD and an invitation to return to the show. CMA Music Festival was also hugely successful, with Shelby receiving sponsorships from NIXA Country Radio, Silver Eagle Bus Manufacturers, and SHM Studios. Shelby also spent time holding autograph sessions at several sponsor booths and packing venues at each of his live performances.

2009 was an even bigger year, with Shelby focusing on new material, his New EP release, has had several appearances at CMA Music Festival 2009, and performing abroad. Shelby's newest venture with Indie Label, Reptile Records, looks very promising for the future of his career in the rest of 2010 and beyond.
