Shelley Harland

Hi, I’m Shelley. I love what I do and the incredible connections and experiences it’s led me to. Music matters deeply to me. It’s brought some of the most meaningful friendships and opportunities into my life, and I believe it’s one of the most powerful ways we connect and communicate. That’s why I create from a place that is honest, intuitive, and real. I specialise in crafting songs and vocals that don’t just sound good, they’re truly felt. Translating emotion into music is at the core of my work, and it’s something clients consistently highlight in their testimonials. It’s also why my songs are frequently used in film and TV, where emotional impact matters most. I’m a singer-songwriter, topliner, and vocal producer with 100M+ digital streams, working across pop, EDM, hip hop, jazz, country, folk, and beyond. I bring both intuition and precision to every project, shaping ideas into songs that connect, resonate, and stand up at a high professional level. Clients often come to me for my ability to take a feeling, a story, or even just a reference, and turn it into something clear, powerful, and original. I’m highly adaptable and experienced in sound-a-like writing, able to match tone, phrasing, and style while still bringing authenticity to the work. I also mentor songwriters, guiding them to develop their voice, trust their instincts, and create work they truly stand behind. I support artists in navigating the music world, including understanding royalty collection and release strategies. My music has been featured across film, TV, and high-end global ad campaigns, some of which you can explore here: https://www.shelleyharlandmusic.com/film-tv . My credits span from Elvis Costello and John Cale (The Velvet Underground) through to hip hop legend Guru (Jazzmatazz) and global trance icon Ferry Corsten. I work closely with some of the world’s leading music companies, including BMG, Universal, Sony, and EMI, bringing both creative instinct and commercial understanding to every project. My solo work has been recognised by Rolling Stone as “one to watch,” with releases mixed by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Radiohead) and mastered at Abbey Road Studios. My songs have been licensed by global brands including Omega (featuring Nicole Kidman), DKNY featuring Hailey Bieber, Huawei, Rockefeller Center, and Sara Lee, and featured on shows such as Love Island, The Voice, Poldark, MasterChef, and more. I’ve performed at some of the world’s most iconic venues, including the Sydney Opera House, Irving Plaza in New York, the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, and Vienna’s Lichtenstein Garten Palais. At the core of it all, I bring taste, instinct, and a deep respect for the song and the artist. Whether you need a topline, vocal, or full song, I’ll help you create something that truly connects with your audience. If you want to create music that gives people shivers, you’re in the right place.
