She leads music production company Secret Sauce and label/publishing house True Music, where she is committed to empowering music creators in the independent sector. She is an alumni of Music to Life’s Changemaker Program and the Recording Academy’s Grammy NEXT Program.

Shelley regularly performs for grassroots activists and communities using her music to create the world she wants to see.
