Shea Fisher

Just 20 years old, Shea is fulfilling every country musicians dream, introducing her own brand of cutting-edge country to American music fans.

Shea began singing the national anthem at Australian rodeo events then hitting the road to pay the dues that would earn her a loyal following of fans while she polished her performing and songwriting skills.

Shea is the first female artist to be signed to Stroudavarious Records.

Shea’s talents on two fronts were evident at a very young age. At 3 years old Shea began competing and winning barrel racing competitions, influenced by her father, rodeo champion Eddie Fisher and champion barrel racer mother, Joanne.

Her family's trip to the U.S. expanded her horizons—besides getting hooked on music, she branded cattle and drove her first pick-up truck—and when she returned to Australia at the age of 12, it was as a singer as well as a rodeo champion.

Shea met Australian country star Steve Forde at a rodeo and "asked him if I could hop up on stage before he performed and sing a couple. He was wonderful—he let me do it!"

The two formed a friendship and before long she was touring with him as his opening act. She formed a band, began writing songs and finally went to the U.S. again, this time to record. After that project spawned hit singles in Australia, she returned to the U.S., recording this time with hit producer Landis.

Stroud heard part of the project once Shea had returned to Australia, loved it, and offered to fly her back to talk about a deal.

As sure as Shea introduces a top-notch young singer to American audiences, it introduces an upbeat force of nature as well.

"I believe the sky's the limit," she says, "for me and for everyone. Dream big. Work hard and you'll get there. It's just a matter of time. I'm going to keep dreaming big and keep striving to achieve new things every day."

And, with the hard-won wisdom of one for whom being bucked from a horse or bull is no mere metaphor, she adds, "If you fall, get back up again and keep going. Whatever you want to do is possible if you want to make it happen."
