​hi, i'm shelly bort :D

 
​i'm a composer/performer/musical director in central california.

i used to run my own theatre company called "shelly bort presents". it was AWESOME :D over the course of 13 years, over 400 kids and adults were involved in our original productions! (and yes, i counted every single one of them to quote that fact!)

​we don't do full scale shows anymore, but shelly bort presents still lives on! under my business name - i work as a composer, studio singer, arranger, orchestrator, musical director, and vocal coach. 

performances

ON YOUR RADIO AND TELEVISION!
it is possible you are hearing me sing regularly and you have no clue! i do a lot of studio work, and for the past 15 years - i have been singing and playing keyboards on many central valley radio and tv commercials :D

i also work as a backup singer and arranger, so i spend about 30% of my time traveling around from studio to studio, working with amazing people, 30% of my time at home alone in a dark room with my computer, dreaming up ways to make OTHER people's music better, and 40% of my time traveling and singing live - more on that below!

VALLEY'S GOT TALENT

​​in september 2013 (i can't believe it's been so long!), i was shocked and humbled to take home the grand prize win at Valley's Got Talent, which secured ian and myself a spot performing with some of  The Glee Cast on feb. 22, 2014.  it was an absolute blast!

​here's a video of Valley's Got Talent 2011 winner Francesca Bavaro and myself performing my arrangement of "Livin' on a Prayer" by bon jovi (i'm on the piano).
