Coast 2 Coast Closeup – Shantelle Davidson

Shantelle Davidson is a singer and entrepreneur.

Raised in Rainy River, a small town in Northern Ontario bordering on Minnesota, she grew up singing in church and at local talent shows. Growing up so close to America, it was almost like it was her destiny to spend some time in the south.

Davidson graduated from the American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in 2008, and spent time in Vancouver working as an actress and recording original music. She later returned to Alberta to record her solo debut album with Juno Award winner, Clayton Bellamy (the Congregation). The EP was released in 2015 and earned impressive reviews.

Shantelle became a  Top 10 Nashville North Star (Calgary Stampede) and Top 12 Project Wild Finalist in conjunction with Alberta Music. These opportunities lead to more, opening concerts across Canada for many reputable Artists including Brett Kissel, Meghan Patrick and Chad Brownlee.

Shantelle released two singles in 2020, “Looking Up” and “Everywhere” both produced by Gold selling Artists, Dan Davidson and Clayton Bellamy. “Everywhere” the music video earned impressive reviews and 92K views on social media. “Looking Up” generated 71K views and close to 1000 spins at radio, Canada wide. Shantelle is a Wood Buffalo Excellence in Arts Nominee this year!
