A formal music education
culminated with a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Miami(FL).
Classmates included Bruce Hornsby, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorious, Steve
Morse and the Dixie Dregs, Hiram Bullock, Mark Egan and the late Ms. Phyllis
Hyman. After touring for a couple of years, Shane set up shop in Wilmington,DE,
recruited a band and began writing and recording. Together seven years,
"BAD SNEAKERS" performed live 200+ nights per year in venues from D.C. to
New York city. The group also produced, recorded and released three rock/pop
albums and
shot an internationally distributed video.

| When
the group disbanded in 1986, Shane was offered a job in New York at CALLIOPE
STUDIOS, and was thrown into the world of hiphop, sampling and MIDI sequencing.
The harmonic anarchy and fresh, irreverent approach of these rappers immediately
attracted him. Demand for his engineering expertise and laidback, open-minded
attitude quickly grew. With his broad musical background, it wasn't long
before his talents as a producer were also recognized.In the process he
acquired a nickname, "the DOCTOR". This unique combination of experience
on both sides of the console is precisely what makes him so valuable in
the studio. |
