My name is Shakale D. I’m an artist and classically trained vocalist with experience in Jazz, Gospel, R&B, and A Cappella styles. Former student at Berklee College of Music. I love to teach! I’ve worked with countless artists/singers who have needed help improving technique, or finding their voice. I have a lot of experience singing A Cappella, background vocals for artists, and vocal arranging/directing.
I love music. I put out my first EP, compiled of songs written completely by me. In the process I’ve learned the many different approaches you can take with songwriting. I’m constantly writing in different styles or with different artists, trying to be as versatile and creative as possible.
I’ve sang in a cappella groups over the years and have learned to appreciate how delicate each persons voice is and how to nurture it and adapt. Whether that be expanding range, figuring out placements, breathing techniques, blending with other songs, etc.
Singing in group settings has allowed me to intricately delve into the theory behind what I’m singing. Learning chords, scales/modes, and the importance of every note within a chord or within a progression I feel has given me a more detailed perspective on music theory.
So if you’re looking for new ways to spice up a song you may be writing, or figure out how to find/use your voice, how to refine and solidify your theory knowledge and vocal technique, please feel free to contact me!
