Congratulations To The June Austin Music City CD Voter's Poll Winner, Shiela Harrison! |
|
 The June music poll was completely dominated the whole month by the monstrous number of fans coming out for one person, Shiela Harrison. The striking Austin beauty’s song “Hit And Run” was clicked on hundreds of times and it was obvious she has what it takes to make a hit record in today’s market.
Since the age of two, Harrison has been performing in some aspect from stage plays, showcasing her talent in some of the top middle school and high school choirs, to working as a performer and dance captain, cultivating her talent and learning what it takes to keep a crowd on their feet.
A veteran of talent competitions, Harrison has entered and won several top contests in the Houston area including Princess Idol, Sugar Land Superstar, and Gimme The Mic.
But don’t be mislead, she by no means sounds “pageanty”, in fact, what struck me at first listen was the range of her vocals, which is phenomenal. She doesn’t seem to be constrained by anything and it’s obvious she feels the material she sings. I had a chance to hear some of her other releases and they are all fantastic, the stuff that huge careers are made of. “Liquid Sunshine”, “Change Of A Dress”, “Something I Would Never Do”, all great songs.
