What do you get when a spunky extrovert spends her childhood on stage, her teenage years gabbing away with customers at a Jewish deli, and her adult life touring the globe with her own music, hosting events and appearing on the most watched television show in the world? You get Shae Wilbur. 

Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Shae grew up on stage—literally—performing with her singer/songwriter father from the age of 8. In 2006 she released her debut CD, Mercy Calling, which sold more than 10,000 copies, and toured the U.S., South America, Central America, Europe and the Middle East.

But Shae's “big break” came during season 8 of American Idol. Her natural effervescence and distinctive voice, not to mention her canine sidekick (Sasha, the Shih Tzu), made her an instant favorite with judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, who sent her straight through to Hollywood.

Alas, becoming the next American Idol wasn’t meant to be for Shae, but the experience led her to a gig as the “Face of FOX30” in Jacksonville, Florida. Shae not only served as their Entertainment News reporter, but also appeared in hundreds of commercials and promos for FOX30. Shae later made the move to LA (this time for good), and has since made a name for herself as a Beauty/Fashion/Style Expert and Hollywood Insider. Shae's fashion and style expertise has helped her land several guest contributor spots on network shows, including Dish Nation on FOX, The Wendy Williams Show, and regular appearances on HLN's The Daily Share. Currently, Shae works as Stylemind's style correspondent on Shop The Scoop (previously Extra Hot Deals), airing weekly on Extra TV. 

Shae's on-camera work definitely keeps her busy, yet she still finds time to create, produce, edit and write her own segments, one of which was nationally syndicated (FOXculture). Her weekly and daily video blogs up on thisisshae.com and yourdailyobsession.com allow her audience to stay up to speed on all the latest trending celeb, pop culture, beauty and fashion news. Shae's in-studio and red carpet interviews, which have included Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, George Lopez, Nigel Lythgoe and Jane Seymour (to name a few), are as entertaining as they are informative. Shae's innate ability to connect with anyone and everyone is both infectious and dynamic.

In addition to her television and music careers, Shae is actively involved in the community – hosting events several times a month, and working with numerous charities. These include: Teen Cancer America, The Arthritis Foundation, Wilbur Ministries, Stella’s House, The American Heart Association, Sophia’s Heart Foundation, The Joseph Project and more. Her love of people and her desire to leave a positive, lasting impact on the world is what motivates Shae each and every day.
