ABC Music and FEG Entertainment artist Shea Fisher is the latest local recording artist to be signed to a US label.

Shea is the first female signed to Stroudavarious Records, which is headed by award winning US producer James Stroud. Stroud has produced albums that have collectively sold over 52 million copies worldwide.

As well as being a recording artist, both in Australia and now in the US as well, Shea Fisher is a champion rodeo rider. She won several national championships in her teens.

Her second album was recorded with US producer Richard Landis, with the assistance of Steve Forde last year. The album, titled Shea, will be released in Australia on March 20.

The album's first single ‘Don't Chase Me' hits media on Monday.

Shea features a mix of pop and mainstream pop/country tracks and the songs consistently touch on core issues relating to teenage girls - relationships, break ups, summer holidays and everything else that young girls experience and deal with.

"From a young age, I've just naturally worn a lot of different 'hats'. There's the singer, songwriter and performer, the rodeo chick, the beach girl and then the normal teenager who just wants to have a good time with my mates", says Shea.

"It has been such an incredible journey so far, and I know this is only the beginning".

Shea flew to Los Angeles in December 2008 to film the music video for the new album's first single ‘Don't Chase Me'. The clip was filmed by acclaimed US director Trey Fanjoy, who has also recently directed clips for the likes of Keith Urban and Taylor Swift in the US.

Shea Fisher's new album Shea will be released locally on March 20, 2009 through ABC Music/Universal Music Australia.
