She began as a vocalist for a big band before producing an EP with renowned drummer John Morrison. She then formed a blues and jazz quintet, performing at clubs and festivals for three years. Shalom produced Songs of the Leading Ladies, which toured NSW theatres, before writing her own music and forming the blues and roots band Tortured Willow.
