Atalie

Atalie’s interest in music started out in her teens as a shy but determined performer. After several successful competitions and part-time performances, demand had grown and the Gold Coast was wanting to hear more.

Travelling throughout Queensland to entertain captive audiences, Atalie was asked to perform with Rick Price and Jacki Love at the Carols Under the Cosmos.

A string of memorable performances followed; performing for Soldiers on Anzac Day, Australian Idol, Tamworth Road to Fame and more recently for 250 Ladies as requested by Legacy QLD.

Starting Soniiq in 2002 meant full time dedication to establishing not only a great duo but also a name that will be associated with high quality, outstanding entertainment. Atalie has her sights set on originals and with the help of Louie will be working towards this goal.

Atalie’s style is a blend of Jazz, Soul, Popular and Dance Music. Performing an extensive range of songs from the 50’s through the decades to Current Top 40 music, Atalie credits such artists as Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Norah Jones and Eva Cassidy for developing her own innate style.

Come and see Atalie perform at the 2007 Annual Christmas Carols at Burleigh Beach, December 16.

Louie Shelton

Louie Shelton's name may be unknown to most listeners, but his guitar work has been heard over and over by even casual popular music listeners since the mid-'60s. His career as a session musician began with the Monkees, playing the memorable riffs on several of their recordings. (Remember the cool, rapid-fire, reverb-drenched solo in "Valerie"?) He went on to play on "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There" for the Jackson 5, Boz Scaggs' "Lowdown," and "Summer Breeze" and "Diamond Girl" with Seals & Crofts. He played the guitar solos on pop smashes like Lionel Richie's "Hello" and Neil Diamond's "Play Me," and recorded with artists ranging from Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston, to the Partridge Family, Art Garfunkel and Mama Cass Elliott. He produced a number of albums as well, most notably for Seals & Crofts.

In 1995, Shelton recorded Guitar, an album showcasing his wide-ranging guitar virtuosity and versatility. Though it rocked harder than most of its peers, this recording found airplay on smooth and contemporary jazz radio when released in the United States in 1996. The follow-up, Hot & Spicy, released in April 1998, sounded like a much more calculated attempt to appeal to that market. Urban Culture followed two years later. ~ Jim Newsom, All Music Guide
