Imagine you’re 20 years old, working in the music industry and your boss say: “You have to throw a party for Elton John in 3 weeks. This includes renting a piano, getting the invitations and catering. And if Elton doesn’t like the piano and walks out, it’s all your fault.” Well, one of Shelby’s first tasks in her entertainment career, and she nailed it.
From a young age, Shelby showed the self-awareness to “just start” pursuing her interests, passions and ultimately grow her expertise. She is known now as one of the premiere publicists in the music industry, helping to break artists like Jack Johnson through un-traditional media methods. She also works with artists like The Beastie Boys and Shawn White pursue their passions, tell their stories and pursue their causes on a global stage.
