Originally, Cloudfish was production and songwriting duo, Steve Norman and Rafa Peletey based in Ibiza. In 2002, Shelley was invited to work on one of their songs and to provide the vocals. From this point on Cloudfish became a band with Steve, Shelley and Rafa writing and producing their own songs. In 2003, Rafa left to front his own band.
