Shelley-Davina Burton

My work has mainly taken me
out of England, my most recent employment having been the lead
production vocalist on a Costa cruise lines. Before embarking on various
ship contracts and living it up overseas(!!) I was involved in the show
band circuit in the UK. I was a part of this show band for a number of
years singing in the UK and internationally. Although I have loved
singing and I can never complain as I have seen the world and earned my
living from it, I was always attracted to either the compere or the
presenter that went before my productions and I always thought to myself
I would love to do that! It was very difficult sometimes before the
performance, I would be looking at the cruise director as she videoed
her presentations internationally and wondered what it would be like to
do that job as it really appealed to me!opps!
When I returned not so long
ago from a 6 month Baltic contract I saw this opportunity in a magazine
and thought to myself I really want to do that!
I definitely want to be in
one place longer than a day! and this is the job that I want to be
doing!
I am a creative individual
and I hope this side comes out in the presenting role.
I have a keen interest in
clinical psychology after studying this at University. I am fascinated
by criminology and so I am gripped by TV shows such as CSI forensic
detectives and all the other crime shows currently viewed on sky! At one
time I hoped that my obsession would turn into my profession but I took
a different route with the singing! ummmm....not sure how that
happened!??
Again this applies to cinema
I love going to check out the latest psychological movie and can never
be dragged to a romantic comedy as thats just not my thing..if nothing
to solve and no dead bodies then my interest is not there! Although I
must state at this stage I am not a freak...as this makes me sound a
little scary!
I llove to have fun and
socialise and love London in that sense as there is always something new
to see or somewhere new to go.
I love to dine out and
experience new food ummm!! and I am probably the only girl in the world
that hates shopping. just hate it! So I am definitely not a Victoria
Beckham sort of gal on both counts!
Due to my past, I have an
excitement for travel and excursions are the best way to do this and I
have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to do a lot.
Although a huge part of me occasionally just wants to sit in a coffee
bar and watch the world pass by. That's one of my favourite pastimes! Is
it possible to be addicted to decaf coffee...??
Obviously, music plays a huge
role in my life and I love to write songs and play around with the
guitar when I have some spare time.
I am very much a family girl
at heart and love hanging out with people who know me best and make me
smile.
I have a phobia to moths and
I don't like water falling on my face...Don't ask!!
