Suzi Shelton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suzi Shelton[1]is a children's music recording artist who has been performing music for kids around her home base in New York City for the past 10 years.

Growing up in Chesterland, Ohio, Suzi studied early childhood education and dance, looking for ways to interact with kids. After moving to New York, she discovered that adding music to movement was her strength.

Suzi Shelton is making her way among the current crop of kid-friendly musical performers. Suzi’s first CD Simply Suzi featured original songs about animals, dreams and dessert , scoring kudos from the [Children’s Music Web] [2], Parents’ Choice [3] and the iParenting Media Awards [4]. She plans to release a Suzi Shelton Live! at Southpaw DVD in September 2007, and is teaming up again with producer and musician Dan Siegler to produce her follow-up album No Ordinary Day, set for release in early 2008. Suzi is the featured artist and host of a DVD series from Gymboree Play & Music [5]. The two new 30 minute DVDs, The Very Brave Elephant and His Friends and Let’s Get Moving! Trains, Cars and Planes, combine music and movement to encourage kids to participate by using their imaginations. The DVDs are available nationwide at all Gymboree Play & Music centers [6].
