"Shelly Poole's achingly beautiful songs sneak into your heart when your brain isn't looking" (The Sunday Times)
Signed to Transistor Project the digital development label set up by Jim Beach (Queen's manager), Dave Rowntree (Blur) and digital communications agency Outside Line Shelly Poole is one of Britain's finest musical jewels. Hailing from a musical family (her father is Brian Poole of the Tremeloes) Shelly's first public foray into the music industry was, with her sister Karen, as Alisha's Attic and a string of hit singles and an Ivor Novello award nomination ensued.
Established as a songwriter in her own right (having written for Massive Attack, Janet Jackson, Jamelia, Sophie Ellis Bextor.) Shelly released her own solo album 'Hard Time For A Dreamer' in September 2005. With little fanfare, the album gently instilled itself as a favourite with music lovers and critics alike and hit the top 10 on iTunes. Written with Paul Statham the fluid melody and purity of 'Lost In You' is a perfect example of Shelly's album.
Mojo: Sumptuous yet refreshing
New: A soothing collection of shimmering pop songs packed with the lazy spirit of late summer. A fine collection of mellow folk-pop
Three songs from 'Hard Time For The Dreamer' were part of a huge campaign across 4,000 America Starbucks coffee shops! Starbucks picked 'Any Day Now', the first single 'Totally Underwater' and the new single 'Lost In You' to be included on a compilation album that was sold and played in stores during the whole of March.
Right now Shelly has a new band called Red Sky July , its an alternative country sound with Charity Hair and Ally Mcerlaine as band members . The album is being made in north london with producer Graeme Pleeth co producing and will be out in the summer months .
Also Shelly has written the new Bryn Christopher single Fearless ,which is currently being played on radio 2.
Writing seems to take up more of Shellys time at the moment since signing to St Remo , a publishing company belonging to Gary Barlow and Celia Mcalmley (sony).
"I seem to be doing alot more pop writing now and every day's different so its quite a joy really which i never thought id say, we will hopefully be doing a couple of choice gigs around march with red sky to balance it all out , doing both makes me a very lucky lady!"

hi shelly, love the tracks - just wondering...how do you split your time writing the more commercial songs for other artists with your own projects and ideas? Regards, Dan x
