About this episode
THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Shelita "You want to do the hardest thing first." Shelita is an international pop artist whose journey blends resilience, reinvention, and music that elevates our collective consciousness. She has been featured in NPR, Forbes, and Rolling Stone. Her songs have reached millions of streams worldwide, she’s charted on Billboard, and her music has connected with audiences from all over the world. Her EP Special reached #10 on Billboard and #3 on iTunes, and her single "Penetrate" climbed to #14 on Billboard's Next Big Sound chart. Shelita won a prestigious Hollywood Music In Media Award, appearing alongside industry legends like Quincy Jones and Dianne Warren. She has been named an "Artist to Watch" by NPR Music and was featured as a spotlight artist at SXSW. She has performed over 150 shows across Europe, Asia, and Africa, making her a true "musical citizen of the world.” Shelita’s path was profoundly altered by a skydiving accident in Seychelles that left her facing years of recovery, isolation, and multiple surgeries. In the depths of uncertainty, she turned to two lifelines: freediving and music. The ocean gave her freedom, and music reminded her that vibration heals. Out of this union came not only recovery but an entirely new chapter in her artistry, one rooted in resilience, transformation, and depth. Shelita’s story is not only one of survival. It is a living example of how art and the human spirit can rise, reinvent, and inspire. Now, Shelita returns with her most powerful body of work yet, Into the Depths, arriving in early next year.
