Sheli Nan is a composer, teacher, pianist, harpsichordist, and percussionist whose music crosses cultural and stylistic boundaries. Her work blends Baroque and Classical training with Salsa, Latin music, Nigerian Afro-beat, jazz, rock’n’roll, and global musical influences from her experiences in Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, the United States, and beyond. Over time, she has developed a distinctive musical language often described as immediately recognizable as her own, shaped by influences such as Bach, Bernstein, Copland, and the many musicians she has performed with internationally.

Nan composes for a wide range of ensembles, including solo piano and harpsichord, string quartets and quintets, saxophone quartet, tuba and euphonium quartet, clarinet and bassoon ensembles, jazz groups, chamber music, orchestra, and choral works such as opera, oratorio, requiem, and librettos. She has over 125 works in the ASCAP library, published by PRB Productions, Screaming Mary Music, and Tech-Clazz Publishing Co., with several releases available on Spotify.
