About Sceldra

Born in Sardinia (Italy ),Sceldra began to sing at the age of five by joining her church choir in her home town,eventually being the lead vocalist throughout her early teens. That's how Sceldra started earning her experience,listening and singing the most melodic,non classical songs she could handle: as a teen-ager her remarkable range allowed Sceldra to invest everything from British Pop to Southern Soul,with nuance and grit. Sceldra constant search for personal expression and passion for music and singing naturally made her move into high,easy R&B dance tunes,like Deniece Williams or Donna Summer's disco hits in the early 80'(expired link) ev'rything worked from the very beginning thanks to her strong interest for the foreign languages. Sceldra also learned to speak,write and sing in French,Portuguese and Spanish as well as English.
Sceldra initially started writing poetry which gradually mutated into her very first (expired link) if in her mind she chose high tunes because they sat better in her range,she pushed up the challenge with some jazzy tunes ( Sceldra had sung Jazz and Swing before she became a Pop singer ),she selected songs starting with a low range,such as Anita Baker's "Been so long". Ultimately,by working her voice from both ends -top down and bottom up- she moved on to midrange R&B ballads,adding gradually power to the middle (expired link) Sceldra cracked the tough stuff:Patty La Belle,Aretha Franklin,Michael Jackson,Whytney Houston,The Pointer Sisters,EW&F,Anita Baker,Chaka Khan,Tina Turner,Dusty Springfield,James Brown,Al Jarreau,George Benson,Michael McDonald,Ashford&Simpson!!!!An endless list of great artists decorated Sceldra's life! In a very few years she had her own sound: it was a style heavily influenced by dozens of artists,but a duplicate of none. After earning her Chemistry Degree in her early twenties,she then decided not to continue with studies and tried to pursue a career as a singer,performing live in small clubs and discoteques.
Sceldra also had many collaborations with local and national bands, touring live all over Italy and abroad,working in recording studios as a back-ground vocalist and vocal arranger.
Sceldra moved to London in 1993,where she has lived for ten years, performing and gigging live in restaurants,clubs,pubs,private parties,live events and holiday villages,from the "Center Parcs" holiday resorts in Sherwood and Suffolk (East England) to the "High Rocks" in Kent,always receiving positive consent from her audience.
"Something's coming soon" is the title of Sceldra's very first solo project recorded in London,produced by renowned keyboardist - composer Pietro Fara and Sceldra.
The album is touched by the hand of soft rock,pop,soul and R&B,all united under the lyrical theme of love ad (expired link) beautiful melodies with a host of electronic pop and soul samples and original vocal tracks,it results in a unique and atmospheric album that captures her velvety and passionate voice.

Sceldra is currently working on new music with the indie newly formed Italian trio "Menti Miste".
A project in collaboration with keyboardist Pietro Fara and bass player Ferdinando Esposito.
SOCIAL is the title of the song with which the band presents itself.
Menti Miste propose the track SOCIAL in Italian language, winking also at the English language that never fails in the vocal and lyrical expressiveness of Sceldra.
The band have chosen to make a refined and cultured music, combining different genres and that tends to a universal result, which exceeds the genres and classifications.
