Following his internationally acclaimed run into America’s Got Talent’s 2020 Quarter Finals where he performed a truly original and heart-breaking rendition of Kylie Minogue’s smash hit, ‘Can’t Get You Out of my Head’, Sheldon’s performances throughout have attracted praise and attention from not only world media, his ever growing fan base but the pop princess herself having taken to Twitter to congratulate Sheldon on his standout performance.
Sheldon’s audition on America’s Got Talent alone has amassed over 35M views across YouTube and social platforms after wowing the judges. Sheldon also became the highest viewed performer during his time on 2019 The Voice All-stars garnering over 10M views on his audition alone.
Sheldon has steadily built a loyal fanbase whilst developing his authentic sound and look. Incorporating his signature masks that have become synonymous with his music he lays the foundations for his truly authentic sound and style to enter the music industry.
‘More than I’ showcases Sheldon’s song writing ability along with his exquisite and captivating vocals. Paired with his Avant-Garde high fashion style, Sheldon delivers an overall theatrical and dramatic dark pop extravaganza for the senses.
Sheldon says, “I had a vision that each song would play through like a movie, with all different intentions, stories and feelings in each song. With “More Than I” I wanted a track that created an impact! Cinematic & Emotional. You could call this the epic movie trailer music that would tease the sound scape of the album!
The idea behind this sound and lyric was to have this impactful instrumental that represented the overwhelming push and pull to grow up young, battles of internal frustration, revealing of my sexuality & fighting strong when I was most weak.”
The track was produced by Sam Sakr (who has previously worked with Dua Lipa, G Flip, The Veronicas and Guy Sebastian) who’s dark but light, ambient but frantic sound worked in perfect alignment with the concept. Sheldon wanted to bring the song to life with a producer who would relate to his introverted lyric and birth an extroverted sound.
Sheldon adds “The back & forth anti-climactic chorus into insane instrumentals sections explains the constant fight or flight confusion going on in my mind. It was in those moments in life that I would fight myself forgetting that no one will love me “more than I” tonight.”
