Voyage Dallas Magazine Interview With Sheila

Hi Sheila, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Sheila is a musical artist that has recorded her first album,
“Uncertain Texas” in Nashville, TN. Her second
album, “Would You”, and her latest album,
“Country Soul Living in the City” recorded at
Studio 520 From the Edge of Texas.

She is currently singing and performing with, “Sheila and the Caddo Kats”.
They are an acoustic variety band with a nostalgic flavor, that takes their audiences back to a
simpler time when music relayed the good feelings of being alive.
On any given night, audiences can be seen swaying and singing
along to the sounds of their favorite songs.
The origin of Sheila’s music career started in the Caddo Lake area of East Texas, where she, as a
singer/songwriter grew up.

She developed a love for music through the teachings of her
father, a Music Director, and her grandfather,
who was part of a Gospel Quartet. She is now sharing her original compositions.
You can find her material on all major download sites,
such as Amazon, iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify,
and of course her own website at:
https://www.SheilaAndTheCaddoKats.com

We all face challenges, but looking back would you
describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Sheila has had a great voyage, navigating her way through
the in's and outs of the performing dream.
She has become a two-time winner of ‘Entertainer of the Year’ in
Nashville, TN. at the international
JMA awards 2018 / 2021.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business.
What should we know about your work?
This question is always a hard one to answer. I suppose I’m known for my vocal abilities.
I hear people all of the time telling me, “Your Voice Is So Amazing” and “It touches my
Soul Inside and Out”. I also need to say that I am very proud of my band. Without my
awesome band to back me up with such dynamics, there would not be the feeling entering
into the performance room.

We’d love to hear what you think about risk-taking?
I know for a fact, that the music business is a risk in itself. Without the help and support
of my loving husband, (Alan Fox) who has been in the music business for many years piloting a
different project. That has joined my ensemble as lead guitarist, website artist, recording
engineer, producer, and booking agent, I know that I would not be where I am today without his help and
experience. He has also helped me acquire the other members of my project that are now loyal band mates.
