Chevel Shepherd

Chevel Shepherd is an American country singer. She is the winner of season 15 of The Voice, nurtured by coach Kelly Clarkson. She spent the following year checking off a long list of red-letter firsts, including opening shows for Clarkson, Little Big Town, Brothers Osborne, Lee Brice, and more, along with singing the national anthem before the Indianapolis 500.

Chevel Shepherd is helping us all to remember the power of pedal steel and good stories. “I love the storytelling of classic country music, and I love the musicality of it,” she says. “It’s real––and you can tell it’s real. I just want to bring that real music back.”

With bold sincerity and a sparrow’s natural instincts, Chevel sings modern country music that toes tradition’s best lines. For her debut EP Everybody’s Got a Story, the 17-year-old hand-picked intricately woven story songs and relatable gems with veteran savvy––then made them irrevocably her own.

“Each song is different, and each song represents who I am as a person, and who I am as a country artist,” Chevel says.
