Sheila E.

Sheila Escovedo, you might know of her as Sheila E., is a force to be reckoned with in the world of music and percussion. In fact, most of her family is, too! For starters, her father, the legendary percussionist Pete Escovedo, is to blame. It was Pete who trained his daughter Sheila, and sons Juan and Peter Michael to follow his footsteps into the world of music. Today, they’re accomplished composers, producers, and of course percussionists. We all know of Sheila’s days touring and recording with Prince; that’s when she changed her name to Sheila E. But, after a long career playing with the best of the best, including Prince, Natalie Cole, George Duke, Ringo Starr, Gloria Estefan, Marvin Gaye and so many more, Sheila E. has returned to joined her father and her brothers for the first time to record their first-ever family project, “Now And Forever.” It’s an impressive project from a family that continues to leave its mark on the music world. Inside MusiCast welcomes the beautiful and talented Sheila E.
