Artist History Shell has performed as a solo artist since the early eighties. The daughter of a classical singer and vocal music teacher, her vocal talent is inherent. Singing as an alto in her church choir fostered her love of music. She began taking violin lessons at age eight and continued through age fifteen. During that time she also studied the clarinet and bass clarinet, which she played in her junior high school band. By age sixteen she had taught herself to play guitar and by nineteen began writing music and lyrics. Performances at venues such as Alvins and the Detroit Public Library during the early 80s lead to Shell's eventual association with several performance groups. Music became her passion and any place from street corners to dance floors became her stage. This singer/songwriter/guitarist is a native Detroiter performing in the local coffee house and outdoor festival circuits for the last few years. Performances include The 1998 Ann Arbor Art Fairs and the 1998 Hamtramck Labor Day Festival, where she opened for Sixpence None the Richer. Her most recent performances include the opening of the Barnes and Noble in Royal Oak, MI.
