Sheila E .She comes down to a simple phrase: follow the beat. And her impeccable inner rhythm is the pulse behind a trailblazing career that still knows no bounds.

Marvin Gaye, Prince, Beyoncé, Herbie Hancock, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Gloria Estefan and George Duke. Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter behind the seminal hits “The Glamorous Life” and “A Love Bizarre.” Sheila is a fearless multi-instrumentalist, as well as an Actress, Mentor, and Philanthropist.

These career checkpoints all converged in 2014 with two new Sheila E. projects. She released her first album in years, the aptly titled “Icon” (Stilettoflats Music, March 25, 2014).

and she added author to her list of accomplishments with Simon & Schuster’s publication of her autobiography, “The Beat Of My Own Drum.”
