It is not every day that he pops in the news, But then, that is only part of Shelton Forbez’s appeal. The songster is on a new course and sharing the same with his fans while also pointing at his move to break industry stereotypes.
For some people, the mention of music or musicians almost instantly brings to mind an image of a cigarette-loving person who also drinks like a fish and lives life perennially on the fast lane. That’s the stereotype many people have in mind.
And indeed Shelton had lived that life in the past. In fact, in a recent post on his official Instagram page, he had given fans deep insights into his life growing up and the life he currently lives. By his own account, he started drinking and smoking at the age of 10 to 11.
Of course, that is a terrible age to have such vice, But that was his reality. In the intervening the same vice would follow him. But he realised along the way that there was a better life to be lived out there. Then came the decision to stay away from those vices altogether. The results have been great, as seen below.
Shelton is no longer your stereotype.
