THE SHELBY 5 BIOGRAPHY The Shelby 5 is a versatile group that presents a blend of pop and urban-infused worship through the use of free-flowing melodies that encourage the soul. Hailing from metro Detroit, the quintet has entertained audiences with engaging songs. The close-knit siblings work to promote unity through song by delivering an inspirational message that crosses age, race, cultural, and religious barriers. They were recently afforded the opportunity to participate in the hit television show, "Preachers of Detroit", and performed at the 2015 Annual Stellar Awards. The Shelby 5 wish to represent Christ with a fresh new sound, creative style, and youthful flavor!
