The impeccable inner rhythm of singer and percussionist Sheila E. is the pulse behind a prolific and trailblazing career that still knows no bounds.

The daughter of legendary jazz percussionist Pete Escovedo, the Oakland native’s four paternal uncles were also well-known musicians, as was her godfather, Tito Puente. Following a Bay Area gig in the late ’70s, Sheila E. met Prince backstage. Their Purple Rain recording sessions—including her vocals on the 1984 classic “Erotic City”—were followed by the launch of her solo career that same year. A fearless multi-instrumentalist, Sheila E. is also the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter behind the seminal hits “The Glamorous Life” and “A Love Bizarre.”

Over the course of her career, Sheila E. has performed, recorded, and toured with pioneering talents, including George Duke, Herbie Hancock, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Ringo Starr, Gloria Estefan, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lopez.

In 2024, Sheila E. released Bailar, her first salsa album.
