Music – Indianapolis
In 2010 Shorty B released her first major recording project simply entitled, \"Shorty B\". The CD was produced by Dave Cocalis of Bloomington Recording Company.
\"Music is like therapy, a release, touching my soul.\" Shorty B, southern Indiana writer/performer/rap artist, finds inspiration, ideas and rhythm from the laundry room to the 11 o\'clock news. With influences from Elton John to Eminem to John Mellencamp, Shorty weaves sweet melodies and percussive vocals into living stories that entertain and stir the emotions. Shorty credits her \"need to express\" for finding her voice in rap. Since 2005, Shorty\'s works have placed in industry contests including VH-1 Song of the Year and Billboard\'s Song and World Song Contests.
In 2011, Shorty was selected to showcase at the \"Invasion of the GoGirls\" during SXSW in Austin, TX. She also showcased at the Indiegrrl Music Conference in August 2010 and 2011.
