Sybil Shanell was born and raised in New Orleans, La. A member of a small family church, she learned to sing before she could talk. Encouraged by family and friends, Sybil realized she had a talent. She began to explore her gift while embracing a wide variety of music genres; soul, pop, reggae, funk, acoustic and folk. Soon, she embarked on writing her own material and performing. This led to shows at such venues as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Essence Music Festival and the New Orleans House of Blues. After floating to Oakland by wave of Katrina, Sybil Shanell has continued writing and exploring her sound. Her melodic tones and spirit moving vocals are sure to touch your soul, her sincerity and charm will definitely warm your heart.
