About
Sheila
Sheila
Daniels had a background where music was foremost. She was raised on the Hollywood
Musicals of the 40’s & 50’s and loved singing as a child. Sheila has been
inspired by many great female performers such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald
and Judy Garland and more recently Anita Wardell, and Nina Ferro. These influences
are self evident when you hear her delivering some of the greatest jazz and
swing standards.
Sheila
grew up in Hampshire and moved to London when she was 19 in order to attend
drama school at ‘Drama Studio London’ in Ealing, where her passion for singing
and performing grew. She later formed a band and performed regular jazz nights
in the West London area and was regularly booked for weddings, corporate events
and private parties. Sheila then teamed up with a pianist and performed smooth
dinner jazz in venues such as The Dome Brasserie in Kew, Sidolis Wine Bar in
Mayfair and the Athenaeum Hotel on Piccadilly. She also sang in a musical tribute
to George Gershwin at the the Fortune Theatre, Covent Garden, London and
performed in the musical ‘Nine' at the the Royal Festival Hall, London.
She is now performing regularly with jazz pianist Eugene Portman as a Duo and
with Mike Porter-Ward (Bass)and David Trigwell (Drums) as a Trio or Quartet
at special events all over the UK.
