SUMMARY:SHEILA E.
DESCRIPTION:One of life’s constants for Sheila E. comes down to a simple 
 phrase: follow the beat. And her impeccable inner rhythm is the pulse be
 hind a trailblazing career that still knows no bounds. Family\, faith an
 d music were guiding forces for Sheila E. growing up in the Bay Area. In
  addition to percussionist dad Pete\, the Oakland\, CA native counts for
 mer Santana member/Azteca founder Coke Escovedo and The Dragons front ma
 n Mario Escovedo as uncles. Fellow Latin star Tito Puente was her godfat
 her. In addition to being weaned on Latin jazz and Motown\, Sheila E. wa
 s exposed to a diverse array of Bay Area acts. Those influences ranged f
 rom the rock of Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead to the R&B/pop 
 of the Pointer Sisters and the funk of Sly & the Family Stone. “I used t
 o sit on the corner outside of the local community center with Twinkies 
 and 7-Up listening to Sly and Larry Graham rehearse\,” remembers Sheila 
 E. “The sounds of the Bay Area molded me.” So it’s no surprise that afte
 r such a music-immersive childhood\, the gifted\, world-class drummer an
 d percussionist began amassing an impressive string of credits playing n
 ot only with her dad but also with pioneering talents like George Duke\,
  Herbie Hancock\, Marvin Gaye\, Diana Ross\, Lionel Richie\, Prince\, Ri
 ngo Starr\, Gloria Estefan\, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez. Grammy Award-no
 minated singer/songwriter behind the seminal hits “The Glamorous Life” a
 nd “A Love Bizarre.” A fearless multi-instrumentalist\, equally proficie
 nt on guitar and bass\, actress\, mentor and philanthropist. Following a
  Bay Area gig in the late ‘70s\, Sheila E. met Prince backstage. Their P
 urple Rain recording sessions—including her vocals on the 1984 classic “
 Erotic City”—morphed into launching her solo career that same year. Debu
 t album The Glamorous Life spun off the Grammy Award-nominated top 10 hi
 t of the same name plus a second top 40 single “The Belle of St. Mark.” 
 Between her ‘80s tenure as drummer\, songwriter\, and musical director f
 or Prince’s backup band\, Sheila E. released two more solo albums (Roman
 ce 1600 and Shelia E.) and scored another classic hit with “A Love Bizar
 re.” Sheila E.’s fierce\, dynamic verve onstage has made her a major con
 cert draw since the ‘90s. Along the way\, she has acted in the films “Kr
 ush Groove”\, “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane”\, “Chasing Papi” and lau
 nched various music projects (E-Train\, C.O.E.D.\, E Family Band). She a
 dded to her arsenal of credits performing on the 2012 Academy Awards wit
 h pop hitmaker Pharrell Williams and composer Hans Zimmer. Sheila E. was
  also among the roster of stars chosen to perform at the 2013 Kennedy Ce
 nter Honors\, whose honorees included artists Herbie Hancock\, Billy Joe
 l\, and Carlos Santana. Sheila E.'s producing\, arranging\, and performa
 nce talents have been showcased throughout the music and film industry w
 ith appearances on The Academy Awards\, The Latin Grammy Awards\, BET Aw
 ards\, The American Music Awards\, The Kennedy Center Honors\, The Summe
 r Olympics\, WOW Awards\, ALMA's\, and The Image Awards\, just to name a
  few. In 2010\, Sheila was nominated for an Emmy Award for “Outstanding 
 Music Direction” in recognition of her leadership as musical director fo
 r President Obama’s Performance at The White House: Fiesta Latina and ag
 ain more recently in 2020 for “Let’s Go Crazy” Grammy Salute to Prince.
