Shelly Leatherman rose from Lake Norman area of North Carolina and Bristol, TN to Nashville’s “promised land” for Singers and Songwriters like herself, turning every obstacle of her life into a launchpad. Anchored in her faith in Jesus, working as an Independent Artist she’s been building her own Indie Record Label since 2018, first launching in Nashville after years of running her own Recording Studios and her Production company (Shell-Tone Productions, Inc). 

 

Founding those companies, Recording Music, Producing Events, Live Sound, Radio Voiceovers, filming TV Commercials, and Music Videos with brands you're familiar with, like Gatorade, Ultra Music Festivals UMF Radio, Burn Notice the TV Series, Jetset Magazine and too many others to name.  In an industry where women are still few, pushing through ceilings with grit, endless talents and grace.  A true

Southern Girl and Artist at heart and it shows in her passion for creating, whether capturing her own Artistry, or capturing others.  

 

Blending Country, Rock and EDM as an Artist, Shelly has written over 1,000 songs rich in substance, and spanning genres and collaborations internationally.  Writing and recording with top Reggae and Dancehall Artist out of  Jamaica, like Bob Marley's legendary band The Wailers, Gyptian, Morgan Heritage Band, Gramps Morgan, Leroy Romans and countless others across the globe.  Cutting her own music, her latest single, The Call, pairs her smooth, angelic vocals, a message of revival, hope and mending things in order to answer The Call on our lives.  Revealing her ability to ease the listeners ear and dial

in a soulful, nurturing vocal that feels more like pure meditation.

 

More than a powerhouse vocalist, Shelly is also a Producer and Recording Engineer—one of the few women (only 2-3%) in this space. She’s worked with icons like Amy Grant, Ally Brooke of Fifth Harmony, Wallis Lane (Drake, Post Malone, etc), Jeremy Reeves (Bruno Mars, JLo, etc), and the list goes on. Behind the scenes, she’s helped produce live sound for major acts including Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves, Jason Isbell, Breland and Sixwire including places like Bridgestone Arena for Ronnie Milsap’s Final Nashville Show Tribute. Even helping run sound and sing on tour with The Mike Huckabee Show touring the nation of Israel in 2020 and making music come

to life in many nations across the globe.

With raw emotion, technical excellence and a voice seasoned for such a time as this,

she stands out as a rare beacon among Industry Professionals, blazing a trail we're not sure anyone's seen before with such well rounded skill. Take a listen.
