Selena Seballo is a storyteller who finds harmony at the intersection of music and drama. From her roots as a classically trained pianist in Orlando, Florida, to becoming a soulful fixture in the London music scene, Selena’s career is defined by a commitment to the “natural rhythms” of human connection.
As a vocalist and songwriter, Selena has graced iconic stages including Ronnie Scott’s and the Secret Garden Party, with her music earning airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing. Whether performing with the Selena Seballo Collective or collaborating with international producers, her sound is an evocative blend of soul, pop, and R&B that captures the depth of the human experience.
Selena’s evolution into the theatrical world was a natural extension of her narrative-driven songwriting. After earning her MA in Writing for Performance and Dramaturgy from Goldsmiths, University of London, she began crafting works that explore themes of solidarity, history, and spirit. Her accolades include co-winning the Drama League’s “Light the Lights” contest—a milestone that saw her work performed by the legendary André De Shields.
Today, Selena continues to push the boundaries of musical theatre as a librettist, lyricist, and dramaturg. Her work includes serving as the dramaturg for the immersive musical Whisper Darkly, and she is the librettist and lyricist for the new musical The Chequerboard Watch, which makes its highly anticipated World Premiere at the Delaware Theatre Company on April 15th, 2026. Whether through a microphone or a script, Selena remains dedicated to forging deep connections through the transformative power of song and story.
Selena leads the Selena Seballo Collective, one of London’s most dynamic live function bands, known for their electrifying performances of pop and soulful hits. The Collective has captivated audiences at Rocket Leisure venues, exclusive private events, weddings, and some of London’s most iconic live music spaces.
