Shiloh first began sharing her songs as a solo artist in 2018. She's a bit of a throwback, Mazzy Star fading into Sheryl Crow, with vocals many have likened to Dolores O'Riordan. She cites influences from 70's folk classics, to 90s soft rock, to the indie pop of today. Her debut EP, All My Metaphors, released on April 22, 2022, is just an introduction to her emotive, image-driven lyricism.

Previously, she wrote and played with her band, Bird and Willow, formed with her brother Jared. Bird and Willow shared many Bay Area stages over the years, both with fellow local artists and some of their favorite touring acts like Sherwood, Fialta, Tyson Motsenbocker, The Collection, and Mike Edel. Shiloh has also performed alongside Zach Winters, Josiah Johnson (former member of The Head and the Heart), and Landon Elliott.

In 2024, Shiloh is quietly working to record new music with a variety of producers as she expands and develops her songwriting and sound.
