Sheila E - Clinic (Performance ) Allans Sydney
Born in Oakland, California, Sheila was immediately surrounded by rare opportunities to collaborate musically with her legendary father, Pete Escovedo , and her siblings and extended family (her uncle is Coke Escovedo). Music enveloped her from the cradle and much of her training was gained at home from the greats. In fact, her godfather was none other than Tito Puente! By age three, Sheila began assimilating Latin and pop rhythms, performing her first show at age five. Adolescence marked her decision to commit to a career in music. It helped that she was becoming known as a prodigy on each instrument she took up—percussion, drumset, guitar and even violin. By her mid twenties, she had performed with the top artists of the era, including George Duke, Alphonso Johnson, George Duke, Lionel Richie,
Herbie Hancock
and Dianna Ross.
Sheila thrust forward even more into the public eye when she opened for Prince on his legendary Purple Rain tour.This led to Sheila joining Prince. Thereafter, she abbreviated Escovedo to "E" and a new persona,
Sheila E., came to life. On Prince's arguably most acclaimed album, Sign O' the Times, the artist invited Sheila to play drums and percussion on three tracks-an enormous endorsement of her abilities, given that eighties studio trends dictated that pop tracks be laid with the flavor-of-the-month Linn Drum, a computerized sequencer/sound module. Choosing Sheila E.'s grooves and fresh sounds over the Linn Drum Machine was a coup for her. And it provided a glimmer of hope for the swelling ranks of unemployed "real" acoustic drummers: their ticket back to the stage was asserting unique personalities and performing with
consistently
excellent technique. (More Artist Info on Sheila)
