Inspired Toronto Singer-Songwriter Shalli Encompasses Modern Afrobeat on “Freezing”

Pop-oriented R&B singer and songwriter Shalli exudes an authentic storytelling talent that conveys both vulnerability and strength. Born in Canada from Dominican and Jamaican parents, she began composing music at 14. Her unique and powerful voice has captivated the hearts and minds of countless souls worldwide. A survivor of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, Shalli took that experience and channeled it into her songwriting. Since then, she has had a successful presence online, releasing 14 singles that have garnered millions of organic streams.

The fusion is deep in “Freezing,” Shalli’s new single that encompasses modern Afrobeat from West Africa, R&B from America and dancehall in the lyrical approach. Explosive, danceable and contagious – it’s a perfect display of the undeniable vibe that only Shalli brings.

Whether it’s through her timeless music, unfiltered conversations or advocacy for cultural awareness, Shalli creates art that is inspired by the world around her.
