Shelley began her professional journey when she moved to London to train in musical theatre at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts before continuing her studies in Opera at The Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester.

Shelley has toured all over the World with her own one woman show ‘Symphony’ and the clever combination of classically voiced pop hits, musical theatre, popular opera and jazz standards has been key to her success. That, combined with her wicked sense of humour makes her performance much more than just a show and has seen her perform and work alongside some incredible talent including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Glenn Close, Rick Wakeman, Alfie Boe, Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and LuLu to name just a few. A career highlight for Shelley was being invited to sing for David Beckham’s family birthday party at Old Trafford, home to Manchester United.

Shelley’s passion for music and singing has inspired Shelley to entertain guests throughout the world as a Guest Artist for various cruise lines including Princess, Holland America and SAGA.

When not entertaining audiences with her vocals Shelley is also an experienced actress across both stage and screen with credits ranging from Coronation Street to Maria in The Sound of Music.
Some of her favourite credits include Woman in Marry Me A Little the title role in Nell Gwynn, Eliza My Fair Lady, Rose Aspects of Love, Cunegonde Candide, Adele Die Fledermaus and Mabel The Pirates of Penzance.
