“Music is just my passion. It’s so therapeutic. It gets you out of any kind of stress or tension or anything like that, and I just love it,” Dressel said. Dressel performed at the Future Farmers of America Talent Contest in Orlando, Florida. Her first time singing in front of an crowd, Dressel, an eighth-grade student at the time, was able to win first place. Dressel returned to the talent contest. On one occasion, she was suffering from laryngitis, but still took herself to the stage for her performance. Her father, Gary, said, “She made it through that performance, and it was a struggle. It was the most exciting thing that ever happened to her or me.” She won the FFA’s Talent Contest in 2003 and in 2005 performing a duet with friend and classmate Logan Palmer. Dressel performed at a 4th of July celebration in her home town in

2009. Also in 2009, Dressel began to teach herself how to play the guitar with the aide of a tutorial book. After only practicing for 2 months with the guitar guide, she was able to play guitar during a performance at the Colgate Country Showdown. At the Showdown, the Shelby Dressel Band performed “Not the Waiting Kind”, which is written by Dressel and was later re-titled “Not Worth the Wait.” They placed 5th in the competition. While in 10th grade, Dressel and her friend Logan Palmer tried out for the TV show Can You Duet in Nashville, Tennessee, performing the Dixie Chicks song “Long Time Gone”.

Dressel also was exposed to a lot of Outlaw Country in her youth, as a result of her father’s musical interests. Dressel considers her biggest musical influence to be Miranda Lambert. In an interview with Dave Schlenker, Dressel described her music style, saying, “I would say Miranda Lambert is the closest I can get to describing my sound. She sings more like Texas-outlaw-type country, which isn’t necessarily what I do. It’s not rock. It’s not pop. It’s country. Country is what I do, that’s my background.”

Dressel’s passion for music drove her to form a band, the Shelby Dressel Band. The band members include: Shelby Dressel, Chad Elders, Matt Flowers, David Hale (known as Pastor Dave), Ryan Cook, and Dave McDonald. Dressel is the lead vocalist and plays the acoustic guitar.

During her American Idol pre-interview, Dressel said, “I wasn’t able to smile correctly or use the right side of my face.” On expressing the impact the condition had on her growing up, Dressel told Leigh Howard, “I had no idea that there was no one else like me. I live in a small town. My friends and family hardly notice that there’s anything different about me.” When talking with Ryan Seacrest prior to her audition performance for season 9 of American Idol, Dressel said the condition made her a “little uncomfortable” but that “when it comes to chasing your dreams and going after what you want, to set that to the side and do it.” When she was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired February 23, 2010, Dressel told DeGeneres that, “It’s just something that you are more acceptable to when you know it your whole life.” The weekend of June 5, 2010, Dressel made a surprising visit to Evans, Georgia, to meet up with a young girl who has the same condition.

This was the first time Dressel had met someone with the same condition, however since her American Idol showing, Dressel has received lots of emails from people who suffer from facial paralysis. Dressel said, “Facial paralysis doesn’t affect anyone’s intelligence or talents.” Courage to Smile, a support group for people with facial paralysis and their families, credits Dressel as an inspiration for their formation.
