Shaylee - Portland, OR
Biography
Shaylee is the songwriting project and avatar of Elle Archer, a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter based in Portland, Oregon. Toeing the line between power pop, post-rock, and psych-rock, Elle's music feels simultaneously familiar and totally unique. DIY to the core, everything you hear on a Shaylee song was played by Elle herself in her home studio, including the mixing. Shaylee exists as an outlet for Elle to document her life through music, so with each successive album, you’ll get to know her a little more as she learns more about herself.
