Today on the podcast, I have the absolute honor of welcoming GRAMMY®-nominated singer, songwriter, pianist, producer, and actress Sheléa. Fresh off a national tour as Stevie Wonder’s “Special Guest” and the premiere of her powerful PBS special Aretha! (airing tomorrow night), Sheléa is a powerhouse of talent and grace. Mentored by the legendary Quincy Jones and praised by icons like Stevie Wonder, David Foster, and Missy Elliott, her voice has lit up stages from the White House to Royal Albert Hall. With stunning range, heartfelt emotion, and unmatched artistry, Sheléa is a musical force you need to hear. Join me as we dive into her incredible journey, her influences, and what’s next for one of today’s most inspiring artists. Sheléa is truly Someone You Should Know!
