## Resource

Sheila E joins On That Note for Part One of a two-part conversation, tracing the early life and foundation that shaped her into a musical prodigy. Raised in a household where music was constant, Sheila breaks down how rhythm, discipline, and instinct were ingrained in her from a young age — long before fame ever entered the picture. She reflects on growing up surrounded by working musicians, learning by feel instead of theory, stepping on stage as a child, and the moments that made it clear music wasn’t just something she loved — it was who she was. This episode focuses on the making of Sheila E: the environment, mindset, and early experiences that set the stage for everything that came next. Learn more about your ad choices.
