HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 05/14/13 -- On the supercharged dance/pop title track to her highly anticipated debut EP Superstitious, Shevyn Roberts (www.shevynroberts.net) sings playfully about astrological signs and the things presumed to bring us good and bad luck. In the infectious song, penned by EP's producer Louis Yoelin, she may be looking up at the stars wondering which boy to hang with -- but in real life, the multi-talented singer and dancer is fully grounded with an intense work ethic and a burning desire to get out there and spread her joyous sense of fun.
Fans in Roberts' hometown of Houston have been feeling her vibe the past few years. In 2008, her video for the song "Wild Child" -- a track from her first EP, produced by Dave Carlock (P!nk, Nine Inch Nails) -- aired on the city's Hot TV. Later that year, she was a featured artist at Jingle Jam, a holiday time concert put on by 104.1 KRBE (Houston's #1 Hit Music Station) that included performances by Rihanna, Chris Brown and Gavin DeGraw. The following March, the singer performed as the only featured artist at the Britney Spears concert pre-party at Houston's House of Blues; she ended 2009 by opening for an about-to-explode Justin Bieber at the Verizon Wireless Theater. Roberts capped 2012 by being named one of Music Connection magazine's Hot 100 Unsigned Artists & Bands of the year.
Roberts hooked up with Yoelin and developed tracks by recording her vocals in Houston after receiving produced tracks that he sent from his studio in Los Angeles. Yoelin is currently working with several other young breakthrough female artists, including the rock band Valora (Hollywood Records) and former KSM singer and emerging solo artist Shelby Cobra (Disney Records).
During the few years she was developing her sound as an artist from the teenybopperish flow of her first EP to the mature and confident R&B on Superstitious, Roberts -- a six-time National Solo Dance champion as a teenager with the American Dance/Drill Team School and Showtime International -- in 2010 opened Shevyn's Dance Academy, a non-profit organization for kids offering ballet, jazz and hip-hop dance classes.
