Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she has displayed her skills at colleges and venues across the country. She both opened and featured on 2007’s sixth season of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam as well as recorded a nationally televised promo for the 2007 NFL Draft. She also was a member of the 2006 Nuyorican Poets Cafe National Slam Team and a competitor in the 2007 Individual World Poetry Slam Competition in Vancouver, Canada. Greatly influenced by Lauryn Hill, Richard Smallwood, and Stevie Wonder for their emphasis on lyrics and creativity, her tenacity has allowed her to become a shining star in whatever path she has endeavored to take.<br><br>Shanelle got her early start showcasing her talents in church where she is still very active. Later, she acted in productions of The Vagina Monologues and Macbeth. At the Utica College Auditorium she performed as both a singer and actress while earning her B.A. in Communication Arts. She was a Def Jam College promoter and a leading radio personality on WPNR 90.7 FM.<br><br>In the summer of 2004, Shanelle was diagnosed with SLE Lupus. Yet she decided that her health would not be something that would limit her success. Using that as her fuel, she decided that she would pursue her dream of being a performing artist as well as encourage others who have obstacles in their path to do the same. She states, "My battle with Lupus has been tedious, but God has a plan. That plan does not include giving up on life. I want to be a testimony to others that no matter what, faith and determination can accomplish any goal."<br><br>Shanelle presently facilitates creative writing workshops throughout New York City and promotes Lupus awareness. Her amazing debut album, "Start Something" fuses Shanelle’s skill at spoken word poetry with her soulful, sultry singing. Using her upbeat pop, old school hip-hop, and inspirational soul sound, Shanelle’s vibrant personality shines through each word and melody she shares. "Every time I perform, I aim to plant a seed in someone, a new perspective. This is more than just standing on a stage simply reading my work or singing a tune. This is me sharing me."<br><br>Shanelle Gabriel is available for performances, workshops, and other engagements.

<p>&nbsp;I love to write poetry and inspirational messages.&nbsp; It feels good when people say "thank you for writing that article, it changed my life."&nbsp; The gratification that I received from touching someone's heart is addictive.&nbsp; It makes me want to continue to touch the lives of so many others.&nbsp; So I challenge all that come across this article to help someone out side of your family to see what it truly feels like to help a perfect stranger.<br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m stuck in winter’s chilly grip,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Oh how I long for fall,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Where leaves are plenty, and the</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sky holds me in bluest thrall.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But the snow holds tight throughout</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The day, with many an icy bar,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And makes me wish for the green of</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">May, where the trees are never far,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Where the breeze it carries playful</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Tunes, on gentle, whispering arms,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Instead of gusting forcefully</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With its angry, violent charms.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My heart it yearns for a summers</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Night, which does not come ’til late,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Where the only sounds alive are the</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Crickets rustling ’neath the gate.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But here I’m trapped, in Winter’s Palace,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With the dullest of gray for my eye.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Oh, how I pine for the dew on the grass,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Not the dreary white snow from the sky.</p>
