Work With Shelley
There are voices that soar, and voices that purr or growl. But very few singers are able to invite listeners into a world they never knew existed...
Shelley Harland is endowed with a voice that shimmers behind an evanescent scrim, a voice that beckons you to explore a mystery. Her writing and production credits are diverse (in addition, to Elvis Costello, she’s worked with Velvet Underground founding member John Cale, Larry Klein, The Fray, Morgan Page, Ferry Corsten, and Guru from Gangstarr, as part of Jazzmatazz) but there are strong unifying aesthetics. She always evokes sonic realms that suggest something lurks in the shadows.
Her gift for melody-writing is what keeps her collaborators coming back, time and time again. In a world where slick craftsmanship abounds, Harland writes honest, infectious melodies that bring listeners back to simple pleasures that made us fall in love with music in the first place. This authenticity is her calling card.
Shelley has over 50 Million Spotify & Youtube Streams on songs she's written. She is a multi-skilled expert singer/songwriter delivering emotionally driven top quality vocals. Her songs are featured on many film/tv shows. She's written for Grammy Award winning producers & artists all over the globe.
Vocals - Melody - Lyrics
I've been recording vocals and writing songs for many years. I LOVE what I do and I love working with creative people from all over the world. I work across all genres and styles and can adjust my tone from soft and fragile through to belting to fit your project description.
I'm a great communicator and I really care about your project. I use high quality microphones and record in Logic Pro. I like to use CLA wave Plugins for playback but will deliver quality dry 24bit 48k.wav files. ’m versatile, patient and will listen carefully so we can collaborate to achieve your desired outcome.
Where possible I will try to get sync opportunities for the songs I create with my film/tv connections (Universal, BMG, EMI, Netflix, Spotify Headquarters, Disney and more)
Pricing varies depending on projects. Standard royalty splits apply (lyrics, melody, track) - happy to discuss per project for alternate arrangements - eg: Buyout, multiple writers.
Once we start your project I’ll send you a rough mix for your approval and do one round of revisions for free if needed, (revisions are small edits) then once you approve the job and release funds, I will send all stems.
