Shellah

Shelley (シェリー) or Shellah is a YouTube singer who originally started on YouTube in September 2006 under the name xWannaBeLovedx, but after it got frozen she continued on xShellah.

Shelley mainly covers English versions of VOCALOID and anime songs with her own translyrics, as she wants to share Asian music to a Western audience, so that they can see the depth and feelings of the music. But she also likes to dub songs of the cartoon series My Little Pony.

Shellah enjoys singing loudly with a nice strong belting range, also to the extent of aspiring to be the English version of Akiakane, being the "The Screaming Mermaid".

Her voice is somewhat of the higher mid range type and is defined by being stingy and high tense almost with a rough edge to it, which seems to fit to any genre while giving songs a somehow new atmosphere without sounding unfitting; in fact her covers are also not restricted to only a few genres, such as the cute Bakemonogatari opening Ren'ai Circulation or her acoustic version of 1925 or the ballad-like From y to y.

Lately she also likes to cover metal-like songs as she is a fan of the metal and post hardcore genre, beginning with Otona no Omocha and showing that she is also highly capable to do screamos with barely no help with mixing for example in her Sweet So Sweet.

According to herself, her singing is influenced by Akiakane, Cristina Valenzuela, Amanda Lee, Rachel Robichaud and Maria Brink.
