~> Melbourne based Shanti Amelia, originally from the Northern beaches of Sydney, is a 23 year old singer/songwriter with an acoustic rock/reggae groove. The solo artist developed her unique 'sweet yet raw' street sound whilst spending several years busking throughout Sydney, Melbourne and Byron Bay. Since then she has progressed into a regular performer, with a long term aspiration to share her music through her upcoming debut album and ultimately tour internationally. Exposed to an exceptional standard of live music from the age of 3 from living with 70's rock star step-dad Drummer Tim Reeves (Paul McCartney, Mungo Jerry, T-Rex and currently The Old Spice Boys) she spent many of her childhood years curled up in his kick drum, nestled comfortably amongst the bedding he used to muffle the sound. When he performed, Shanti would stand next to him, or sit on the edge of the stage, connecting with the audience as if they we there to see her, which may explain why she's as comfortable
