Sheléa

Opus 3 Artists is pleased to announce the signing of singer/pianist/songwriter Sheléa for exclusive booking representation throughout North America.  With a voice that stirs the soul and hands that effortlessly glide over the keys, Sheléa represents a return to true artistry that has garnered much attention and adoration from legends throughout the music industry.  Blendingtraditional pop, jazz, R&B and soul, she brings a contemporary edge to classics and a classic touch to contemporary pop standards.  

Sheléa's résumé speaks for itself.  She's toured with Stevie Wonder and David Foster, recorded with Brian McKnight and Take 6 as well as written for and sang on several major motion picture soundtracks.  She's performed at the White House, Library of Congress, Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, to name a few.  She's also appeared on several PBS specials and can be seen honoring Tina Turner with a performance on the upcoming broadcast of PBS' A Grammy Salute to Music Legends (air date: Oct 5, 2018).

Though Sheléa's career began in the world of R&B, her enormous talent quickly transcended the boundaries of genre.  This is most evident in her much-anticipated upcoming third album Pretty World: Through the Eyes of Alan and Marilyn Bergman (Breath of Life Records/Universal).  After a serendipitous meeting with iconic husband and wife lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Sheléa was invited to record a collection of their songs.  The album will consist of 12 songs handpicked by the Bergmans, including several never-before released and a new arrangement of "Make Me Rainbows," which Sheléa debuted at the ASCAP Jazz Awards honoring Marilyn Bergman.  Selections from this album will be featured in concert throughout the 2019-2020 season alongside a mix of classics both old and new that have helped shape Sheléa's journey as an artist.
