The Dallas native found her voice at the young age of seven years old and began to songwrite by the age of nine. She began to emulate the music that was being played in her home growing up which were artists like Corinne Bailey Rae, Mariah Carey, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, and many more who grew to be her musical influences. She found her personal unique style and niche as her voice has been described as rich, sultry and soulful. Growing confidently in her craft, Shola Ophelia released A Time For Everything during Fall 2021.
