SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND MUSICIAN AUBREY SHAMEL STARTED WRITING AND PERFORMING AT THE AGE OF NINE. AUBREY “EXPERIMENTED WITH MANY GENRES, FINDING THE MOST COMFORT WITH POP OR POP CROSSOVER.” HER FIRST SINGLE, BREAK FREE, RECORDED IN 2009, SHOWED AUBREY’S TALENT AS A SINGER/SONGWRITER AND PROMPTED THE RELEASE OF HER FIRST EP, CHANCE TO SEE IN LATE 2009. FAMILY FRIEND CHRIS PHILLIPS OF SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPER FAME WAS ENLISTED TO HELP WITH CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT. “I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OR WHERE I WOULD BE WITHOUT CHRIS’S GUIDANCE, EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING. HE IS AN OUTSTANDING MUSICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN,” SHE SAID. “MY FOCUS FOR 2011 IS GETTING MY OWN BAND TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH I APPRECIATE THE SIMPLICITY OF AN ACOUSTIC SET, I GET EXCITED HEARING MY SONGS PERFORMED WITH FULL ACCOMPANIMENT.” AUBREY ALSO PLANS TO RELEASE HER NEXT CD. "I WILL BE COLLABORATING WITH MARK KANO. HE IS A GIFTED WRITER WITH MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE." HAVING WRITTEN ENOUGH SONGS TO FILL THREE CD’S AUBREY HAS BEEN PERFORMING THE LOCAL CIRCUIT, CONTINUING HER TRAINING AND WORKING IN THE FILM AND RECORDING STUDIOS. IT’S AMAZING THAT SHE IS SO YOUNG; HER PERFORMANCES PRESENT A MUCH OLDER AND SEASONED PERSON. “I GET EXCITED WHEN I CAN LOOK OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE AND SEE PEOPLE DANCING TO MY MUSIC, SINGING ALONG, AND HAVING A GREAT TIME. IT’S ALWAYS A PARTY.”
MUSIC STYLE/GENRE: POP, INDIE, TOP 40. A SMOOTH MIX OF CAROLE KING, VANESSA CARLTON AND AVRIL LAVIGNE.
