Shenelle Salcido
Songwriter, composer, lyricist & librettist
Shenelle Salcido is a songwriter, composer, lyricist, and librettist writing at the intersection of story and song.
Her work lives in the space where musical theatre meets everyday listening, grounded in the belief that songs should not end when the curtain falls. She creates music that moves between stage and headphones, carrying its emotional core from character to listener.
Her voice is shaped by a love of melody you can hold onto, harmonies that shift between rich and expansive and moments of unexpected dissonance, and storytelling that stays with you.
Beyond the theatre, she writes for and performs with Nellie & The Yardswillers, a genre bending project moving through pop, folk, rock, and whatever else the music calls for.
