Alumni Spotlight
Christian Shelton
Major: Vocal
Class of 2019
Christian Shelton, A Las Vegas native and graduate of Las Vegas Academy, used to be so nervous to sing in front of people, but the excitement of getting through that, and the rush of the performance, is what keeps him singing.
In 2018, a high school choir teacher recommended he pursue music at UNLV and take opera lessons with Alfonse Anderson, a professor of voice. Shelton enrolled as a vocal performance major and, since then, has become a multifaceted singer, capable of singing both contemporary and opera music.
Shelton's media popularity, which grew during the pandemic, caught the eye of an ad agency seeking a singer for a 2021 Super Bowl commercial for the hiring platform Indeed. In the commercial he sings a rendition of Andra Day's "Rise Up".
Currently he is pursuing a master's degree in vocal performance at UNLV and "sees himself singing, as a recording artist and a live performer in all facets of music".
