Inspirational Productions
Our History, Our Purpose, Our Vision
Inspirational Productions was founded by Sheila Kay Blackwell, a Seattle-based vocalist, songwriter, producer, and performing artist with a lifelong passion for music, storytelling, and the arts.
Born from a desire to create meaningful artistic experiences, Inspirational Productions brings together talented performers, musicians, storytellers, and creatives to celebrate the richness of our communities and the power of artistic expression.
Over the years, Inspirational Productions has presented live music showcases and collaborative productions, creating opportunities for artists to share their gifts, connect with audiences, and tell stories that deserve to be heard.
One of its signature projects, Our Stories, combines personal storytelling with live music, providing a platform for authentic voices, shared experiences, and meaningful community connections.
Through productions such as The Grown Woman Experience – Fine Like Wine, Inspirational Productions also celebrates the artistry, resilience, and contributions of women while creating spaces for collaboration and connection.
Today, Inspirational Productions is taking an exciting step toward becoming a nonprofit arts organization, with plans to expand its programming to include youth mentorship, artistic development, theatrical preparation, and documentary storytelling.
Our Mission
To motivate, inspire, and uplift—bringing healing through the arts.
At its heart, Inspirational Productions believes that art is more than entertainment. It is a powerful vehicle for healing, cultural expression, human connection, and community empowerment.
Our vision is to create spaces where stories are honored, talent is celebrated, and the arts bring people together.
Before the Stage, Behind the Mic
In the late 1980s-early 90's, Sheila Kay connected with listeners on KRIZ. For about three years, radio gave her a place to share the love of music and use her voice in a different way.
Finding this photo is a special chapter of her journey. Today, as a singer, host, and founder of Inspirational Productions, music and connection remain at the heart of what she does.
