Meet Shelby:
Shelby Ringdahl is a Missouri-based performer, educator, and entrepreneur with roots in St. Louis and New York City. A classically trained vocalist turned belter, her work has taken her coast to coast on national tours and onto concert stages with major symphony orchestras.
A former Miss Missouri (2013) and Top 12 Miss America finalist, Shelby is a sought-after emcee, vocalist, and motivational speaker. She holds a BFA from TCU and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Columbia College and is the founder of The Shelby Ringdahl Collective and Merry Ol Missouri: A Family Christmas Spectacular.
When she’s not performing or teaching, you can find Shelby chasing her bucket list—usually with a Diet Coke in hand—baking for stress relief, running half marathons, or parenting her toddler. A proud Midwesterner, she’s grateful to be creating art and community back home in Missouri.
