About Me



Raised in the heart of Antarctica, Shelly began making and selling snow shoes at the tender age of 6. This began a life long work ethic that she would soon put to good use in the Gypsy group that would quickly adopt her and start peddling her talentedness all over the great nation of Africa. Since most people in Africa don't need snow shoes, Shelly was forced to learn other skills. Snake charming, painting by numbers, and perhaps what she is best known for: naked tight rope walking. When that just got weird at about the age of 18, Shelly decided to move to America to make her dreams come true. She adopted a monkey named Simon and a Merkin named Fred. Together, Shelly, Simon and Fred set out to grasp their own American dream. And thusly, you have found them.

Anything else, please inquire within.

Sounds Like: THE MUSIC YOU'RE HEARING:

"Katia's Theme (Under)" by SHELLY BORT.
Dating in today's world is a bit like swimming with sharks. Sometimes you don't see something horrible coming until you've already been bitten, and taken down deeper. I dedicate this to my friend Katia who is a far more courageous dater than I will ever be...

"What You Did To Me" by SHELLY BORT.
this song is pretty self explanatory ; )
and ps- every last bit of it true.

"Little Song of Hate" BY SHELLY BORT.
Written after I worked in Nashville for a Summer.
Ugh. There are some real jerks in this world...

"30" by SHELLY BORT.
i wrote this after i moved back from nashville, and it was about 2 weeks or so until my 28th birthday and i was sad i was so old. : )

"LINE" BY SHELLY BORT.
Written about a dream I had where everyone in the world was connected by a line that ran through us. (I don't know...)

"Oh Sam" by SHELLY BORT (but it was originally a paula cole song)
i fell in love with this song. it was so moving, and haunting.
so, i picked it apart (as usual) and made it my own. IT'S MINE NOW, PAULA! HUH!

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!
