Quote: “Giving of myself, and providing for those in need is the best way for me to do God’s will. I believe we are here to support and encourage humanity in our lifetime. This is the only way to truly live.”
Prince: Sheila’s friend who helped catapult her to own pop superstardom. Prince and Sheila worked together on their own albums, tours and other Prince related projects that contributed to Sheila’s international stardom.
Pete Escovedo: Sheila’s father (Latin jazz legend and timbalero) who is also an percussionist and band leader of the influential band Azteca. He influenced Sheila at the age of 3 while watching her father rehearse. From then on she knew that she wanted to become an percussionist, just like her father.
Writing with My Heart and Soul:
Her Story In Her Own Words
I started playing when I was 3 years old and at my first real show I was 5. I got serious about playing at 14. By 15 I became a professional musician. There was one show at the age of 15 that I performed with my dad and it changed my life. I realized this is my gift and I must share it with people the best way I can. It didn't mean that I would do only huge concerts, it meant I would perform for kids in foster homes, elderly people, kids in juvenile half way homes, people in the park, children who are handicapped, and the list goes on and on. My goal in life is to bless just one person a day. If today that one person is you than I have done my job by telling my short story. Pray and ask God what your purpose in life is and I promise you he will help you. He helped me.
I continue to fight with what society has said I cannot do because I am a woman and I am a minority. I will not give up because I know this is part of God's plan. You should do what you feel is in your heart. Music is my life and it feeds me everyday.
God Bless. Peace & Grace,
Sheila E.
