Singer/songwriter Shelby Lim is an emerging acoustic-rock solo artist out of Brisbane.
Winner of the 2004 Face The Music Singer/Songwriter competition at just 17, Shelby proved she could hold her ground against the older and more experienced performers. From there she proceeded to become a finalist in the 2004 Fretfest Singer/Songwriter competition, the 2004 Busking By The Bay Competition and the 2006 Hot Tunes Songwriting Competition. Shelby has been an avid performer in Youth Week events, distinctively a showcase of young talent at Brisbane’s renowned Suncorp Piazza in 2003.
Armed with an intense passion for love and life, Shelby’s lyrics ring true to those even twice her age. Her development as a songwriter and musician evolved rapidly, resulting in her ability to write poignant lyrics well beyond her age.
Shelby’s EP reveals her versatility as an artist – completely at ease whether delivering her bold lyrics through a unique harshness of her voice (Don’t Rain) through to sweetly crooning through an emotional ballad (Untitled). Whichever way, no doubt, the audience is captivated by the distinctive melodies accompanied by honest, raw and genuine lyrics that live in their hearts long after the show is over. Shelby has featured in television series’ Tattu Tv and Alive in Brisbane. Her EP receives regular airplay on Brisbane Radio Station 4zzz.
Shelby has performed in such Brisbane venues as Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Brisbane Powerhouse, Suncorp Piazza (Southbank), Brunswick St Mall Stage and University of Queensland, as well as earning her place as a regular solo artist on the Brisbane pub and cafe circuit. She has also performed at a number of festivals including the Grass Roots Music Festival, Urban Blues and Roots Festival and 2High Festival.
Shelby is a competent covers performer, having extensive experience in party covers duo Mixed Herbs who performed weekly at the prominent Bayside icon – The Cleveland Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar as well as other distinguished venues such as the Marine Village at the heart of the picturesque Sanctuary Cove. Branching out in an exciting venture as a solo covers performer, Shelby is set to take the Brisbane covers scene by storm.
With a series of live solo and band performances on the horizon, Brisbane is embracing this rare and refreshing young talent with open arms.
