Raven Shelley is a singer-songwriter based in Manchester, UK. She writes ethereal and poetic alt//indie-folk songs inspired by her love of literature, poetry and visual mediums. She has a broad range of influences, from Bob Dylan to Ani DiFranco, Schiele to Nicolas Roeg.
She grew up in a rural part of the south of France, and educated herself in English Literature from a young age by raiding her parents’ bookshelves.
“Reading in English became my own private world,” she says, “and I went on to study it at The University of Manchester. This is what impacted my desire to create lyrics that can also be described as poetry. I try to be honest in the music that I write; I hope that all the hurt, all the anger, all the love, everything that runs through me can be found somewhere in my songs.”
