Shiloh travelled to Vancouver, British Columbia to work with songwriting–production team Hipjoint Productions[4] who wrote and produced seven songs on her debut album Picture Imperfect including the Canadian Platinum-selling single "Operator (A Girl Like Me)".
She signed to Universal Music Canada in 2008 and released her debut album, Picture Imperfect, on August 18, 2009.[5] As a songwriter, Shiloh signed a worldwide co-publishing deal with Ole/Tanjola.[6]
Shiloh released her debut album Picture Imperfect in Canada on August 18, 2009. The album has yielded three singles so far which have received airplay on MuchMusic and Family Channel.
Shiloh also signed an American deal with Universal Republic in 2009.[7]
"Operator (A Girl Like Me)" was the first single from Picture Imperfect. It charted on the Canadian Hot 100 and listed her as Billboard Canada's #1 Emerging Talent Artist as of December 19, 2008.[8] The song is also included on Much Dance 2009 CD. Shiloh appeared on MuchOnDemand on June 4, 2009, and performed "Goodbye, You Suck". She was a nominee for the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards as well as being an announced performer.[9][10] She performed "Operator (A Girl Like Me)" at the MuchMusic Video Awards on June 21, 2009, but lost in both categories she was nominated in: Pop Video of the Year to Danny Fernandes and UR Fave: New Artist to The Midway State.
