Lovable television personality and mother of two, Shelley Craft – who rose to fame on ‘Saturday Disney’, ‘The Great Outdoors’ and ‘The Block’ – can now add singer and kids entertainer to her list of talents.

Joining forces with surfing champion and musician Beau Young, the talented pair recently formed the band ‘Animals Rock’.

They initially met after Beau performed at Shelley’s children’s day care centre. Her two daughters, Eadie and Millia were fascinated with Beau’s animal act and wouldn’t stop talking about it to their Mum. Seeing the potential, Shelley tracked Beau down and they have been making music ever since.

With a vision much bigger than touring kindergarten and day care centres, ‘Animals Rock’ now perform on big stages at big venues. They have an album in stores and even see a TV show in their future.

“Education is definitely a huge focus for our music, the kids learn about animals and their habitats, also lots of the animals we sing about are endangered,” says Beau ‘Animals Rock’ is a fun and interactive, musical act, with singing from Shelley, Beau on guitar and backed by a live band, there are dance moves the kids and parents can follow along with.

“It’s hard to sing and dance at the same time but the dance moves are very kid friendly,” jokes Shelley.

The main focus is having fun and using music as an interactive tool to learn about animals.

Shelley’s famous smile and natural ability to entertain a crowd really pulls the whole act together.

With an increasingly busy schedule, ‘Animals Rock’ is being rehearsed and performed around Shelley’s other commitments. The filming for popular TV show ‘Reno Rumble’ has just been completed and this year’s series of ‘The Block’ which starts in May.

Shelley’s two daughters, aged 3 and 5, have always travelled with her on work commitments. “The girls are our biggest fans, they know the whole show off by heart of course, and they are always right up the front, singing and dancing when we perform,” Shelley said.

When it comes to fitting everything into her busy life Shelley says, “I think it just comes down to drive, if you want something badly enough you’ll go out and get it. If you love what you do and are willing to work hard you can achieve great success.”

‘Animals Rock’ is available at any good music store and online at Amazon or iTunes.
