Elena Shelton was born on the coast of California in a wildly creative community of artists. With a family of painters, architects, writers, and designers, she was brought up in a realm of continuous creation. Although she has been writing music since she was a teenager, she worked for years as a birth doula, bringing hundreds of babies into the world, and supporting families through the most important rite of passage of their lives.
Animalia Music is excited to release Elena’s debut album, a shimmering intimate journey through cycles of love & change. From the California coastline to the New Mexican mountains, this album has been written over a decade, as Elena has processed evolving relationships to those she loves.A love letter at the core, this album explores all facets of love & friendship & is filled with admiration for humanity. At its essence it speaks of how we can learn to accept and find the beauty in the unexpected outcomes of life & how the unplanned path can be paved with something better than we thought possible.
The artist has released “Wild Night”, a hypnotic ballad reflecting on the intensity of shared loss. The track comes via Elena’s upcoming album, out on February 24th. Check it out!
