Vocalist Valentina Shelton duo featuring Wesley Amorim on Guitar

Valentina Shelton duo with Brazilian jazz guitarist Wesley Amorim. A different, more intimate evening!

Los Angeles, with a BM in jazz voice and piano from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. Having won multiple student Downbeat Awards among many others (both in voice and songwriting), she is now an in demand artist working regularly and set to release her debut jazz album (in which she sang, played piano, and arranged) upcoming in early 2027.

Her wide ranging tastes are influenced by her Slavic/Balkan background (speaking Serbo-Croatian), spending some of her childhood in New Orleans, and having been raised in a home filled with world music to opera. She recently released her debut original singles entitled “Waiting for You” and “Stuck Between“ and her re-imagined cover single of the classic song “California Dreamin.” Valentina Shelton also just finished a role in the new musical “Bull Durham,”(based on the 1988 baseball film) at the highly regarded regional theater, Paper Mill Playhouse.

Wesley Amorim, a music producer, composer, and guitarist based in Los Angeles, originally hailing from Brazil, is driven by a profound passion for a diverse array of musical genres. Renowned for his versatility and innovative approach to music, Wesley has a rich history of collaborating in genres ranging from Brazilian and jazz to rock, pop, and gospel. His musical journey includes the creation of multiple projects, such as Zamb'up and Simas Amorim & Amorim. Notably, he has also been involved with the music project for the non-profit organization Triumph Life Center, which seeks to spread uplifting, healing, and life-affirming music.

Wesley's career has been graced with the privilege of performing and recording alongside distinguished artists such as Roberto Menescal, Alcione, Neguinho da Beija-Flor, Baila Nova, and Jair Oliveira, with whom Wesley contributed to the Latin Grammy-nominated album 'Selfie'. He has also had the honor of gracing prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall and Birdland.
