Today we’d like to introduce you to Shanelle Scott.
Hi Shanelle, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
I started singing as young as infancy. My mom told me I would hum in my crib as an infant. As I grew older, I would sing at church in the choir and at school functions. As life went on, I felt that since my journey didn’t look like most pop stars, I had no chance. So, I began to pursue careers that didn’t fulfill me.
But I never stopped singing. I was granted to opportunity to sing background for a local musician at the time, and it flourished from there! I continued to sing and by word of mouth, I began to sing for more and more people! From National gospel artists such as James Fortune, Mali Music, and Zacardi Cortez just to name a few.
And a few R&B singers such as Tweet, Carl Thomas, and Keke Wyatt just to make a few.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It wasn’t such a smooth road because for so long I have had so much self-doubt!
I continued to compare myself to all the great singers in the city! I felt I didn’t have a chance because I wasn’t fortunate to have proper training. I was just a church girl singing at a choir rehearsal.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an artist/singer. I am known for singing!
I’m most proud of not giving up and continuing to chase my dream because it hasn’t stopped! What sets me apart is using integrity and maintaining my character despite the corruption in the industry! There are so many amazing singers but humility and being humble will keep you where your gift will take you!
Without it, you’re just another good voice.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was extremely goofy! Always laughing and wanting to have a good time! I was the youngest of 6 so slightly spoiled, lol. I was interested in whatever having a good time looked like. I love family time and hanging with friends
