About Young Shel

HYS THE WRITER...
From his hometown of Mississauga Ontario (a suburb of Toronto) Henry Young Shel has developed a passion for Superheroes, Modern Fantasy and Romantic fiction.  In 2013 he released 2 romance infused novels titled  "Space, Love, Superheroes" & Operation Dreamgirl".  He spent the next few  years promoting both books at various major live events & venues including, FanExpo, Chapters Bookstores, and Hamilton ComicCon. Previously in 2008, his 1st officially published writing was a children's superhero series called "The Power Blast Kids!"  Currently he is putting the finishing touches on his newest passion project...a romantic  superhero book titled "Heromantics (Modern Tales Of Heroes Hearts & Powers!)", which is due to be released late  summer 2022.

HYS THE RAPPER...
Musically Shel is a 90's Hip-Hop veteran, who had his first solo, commercial radio release in 2002 as part of the group House Of David.  His Gospel Rap-Rock song "Hey" from their debut album (Street Levels Vol.1) received significant radio play on the major FM Christian Radio station Joy 1250.  Prior to this, in 1996 HYS also had minor commercial success as a feature rapper on the Juno Nominated R&B single "Give It To You" (by Carlos Morgan).  Most recently, his debut solo E.P. "That 9-Oh's Vibe" was released in January 2022, and features a nostalgic mix of 90's flavoured hip-hop including romantic r&B infused ballads, head bopping freestyle posse cuts and even an uptempo sexy club jam with a dancehall reggae vibe!  The entire project as well as the 1st single "Just Rap" are available now on Spotify, and most other streaming platforms.
